Academic cheating is one of the most critical political issues around modern society especially with the newer and younger generations. Cheating involves acts of dishonesty, plagiarism, bribery, misrepresentation, conspiracy, fabrication, collusion, duplicate submission, academic misconduct, and disruptive behavior. Students and people tend to cheat in order to get good grades due to desperation or little hope. It's really sad to think that our generation depends and resorts to cheating in order to pass and "succeed" academically and in life.
The reason that many schools and places have academic integrity regulations in place and have sites to track any duplications or plagiarism is due to the consistency of cheating throughout the World and the United States. The reason I chose academic cheating was because I've cheated before in the past and never got caught but I stopped doing because when the time comes for important exams, that's when you're tested on actual knowledge, limiting time and options for cheating at all. I go against cheating and dishonest acts because it's just wrong and in the long run won't help you and would put you in a disadvantage. Personally it made me feel bad in the inside and feel pretty crappy deep down obviously resulting in a possible consequence for your actions, failure or karma.
A quote that stood out to me from "Memes are our Generation's Protest Art" was "You can express yourself with one picture of a meme better than a whole page of text." This quote was quite genius in my opinion because images portray a better and more clear message than actual bland words. Another quote that was interesting would be "As a byproduct of social media, memes and protest art act as a way to gauge a country's political temperature", because it attracts people's attentions more than words or boring news, it's alluring to the human eye and just grabs more attention than anything else, either causing debate or just seeking attention and awareness of an issue.
