This thought has been in my head since long. It has to do with my inherent necessity to ask “why”? As I am experimenting with different types of writing flows, I am going to start off this with a question, er…two questions may be.
Would you be willing to give complete credit to your friend/loved one/family for a creative piece (could be a sketch on a paper towel, could be a small write up/blog post) you have produced? I am not asking in the way authors dedicate and thank their dear ones in the foreword but I am asking would you be willing to say, this has been made by he/she and not me. The answer in most cases is a “No” right?
Now think about this- your mom and dad are visiting you and you want them to see your girl/boy in the best light. You make the tried and tested recipe and say your girl has made it. How easy was that?
The difference between them is that one is your original imagination, it was completely about you and the other was only part you. It is always easier to let someone take credit if it is something not originally yours.
Applying this to the discussion of copying in school exams, Should our efforts be in the direction of making the exam better, by making questions which would need original thinking or in investing watch guard infrastructure? My vote is for the former.
language is of central importance to human thought because it structures and limits the ideas that individuals are capable of formulating and expressing….the party controls this by introducing language of NewSpeak replacing English….1984
