Part 1: Literature Review
On the first day of the UP Board examination, UP’s Ballia district reported a maximum that out of 163 cases, 24 – 17 boys and 7 girls from class X – were reported of using unfair means in the state (TNN, 2017). To correlate this matter, what is “Cheating”. Generally, cheating means is to act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, especially in a game or examination.
How exactly is the public affected when a law student cheats? Technically, law students, for starters will have a lower capacity, than that of students who studied the materials by heart, to learn the entirety of the context they need to learn for their board exam. Another is due to law being a program which the lawyer to be the mediator between lies and truths. Each case, each evidence, each alibi, all of these have to be reviewed thoroughly and accurately.

I am a firm believer of the third theory discussed in viewing plagiarism, which states that “Everything’s a remix. Creativity in every area of life depends upon the ability to build on, and create something new out of, previous ideas.” In which, that even as time passes renders events to be more complex than the previous generation, God forbid they take a turn for the worse, each “slide” or fragment of any event was just based off from an original or previous ideas. By that, take a look at Disney Movies – the classics – that regardless that a remake or a stage play was made, the concept remains the same; however, the casting is different and some parts of the original Disney Movie were changed. Disney Movies themselves are just a rendition of Grimms’ Fairy Tales by The Grimm Brothers.
Another circumstance relatable for plagiarism as a form of remix is Cryptomnesia. What exactly is Cryptomnesia? As defined in the dictionary, occurs when a forgo...
