Bamboozled With Technology
- ABC News
But if test organizers allowed people to bring these devices, would everyone cheat? Or would it just be those who would have looked for a way to beat the system anyway? If American Idol and Super Millionaire are any measure of the potential problems we face, we'd best avoid temptation and leave all those devices safely stored in another room while we try to figure out the answer to "Explain the Pythagorean theorem."

Discuss the question presented by this article: "Is
honesty a part of human nature that technology corrupts, or
is technology tapping into some part of our essence that is
designed to cheat?" Do you think technology has influenced
people to start cheating?
-
We are all born with a sin nature (as discussed in a previous
DinnerDialogue). Therefore,
you will sin. But what is it that makes cheating
one of the more 'attractive' sins and probably one of the most
easily given in to? Why do people cheat? (hint: they have no
confidence in their own ability, they don't want to put the
time into doing the work, they think it won't hurt anybody,
they see it as a joke, they seriously think they deserve
what ever it is they are cheating for...)
-
What effect does cheating have on the innocent/honest? If
you look at cheating much like lying - starts off little and
harmless then grows into a huge problem - what are some 'little'
things that might get you started down the slippery slope of
big time cheating?
-
Here are some verses regarding cheating/dishonesty: Leviticus
19:35; Psalm 62:10; Genesis 12:11-20; 27:6-29; 34:1-31; Proverbs
1:10-19; 11:1; 20:10; John 12:4-6; James 5:4; 1 Kings 21:17-26;
Joshua 9:3-22; Matthew 27:3-5.

How do you define success for your child? “Graduates from a prestigious college.” “Nabs a high-paying job.” “Settles down with a nice family.” Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?
What about greatness? Where does it fit in? “If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you’ll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives,” says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
