1) In paragraph one, evaluate at least one argument in favor of harsher punishments for cheating in school.  You must include at least one outside source, using in-text citation (author, website, date).

 I think that cheating should be harsher because it doesn't encourage learning. if someone is cheating than they don't need to know the material they are cheating on as that is the point of cheating. someone could learn to throw an ax and learn how to properly step, but if there was a much easier way to do the same task with the same results than everyone would do that. in video games, this is called dominant strategy the idea goes like this. in a video game, there is an instant win button if there is a difficult task up ahead the player, in this case, the student will do that every time if there are no harsh repercussions. so currently the fix to this problem is to make the punishment for hitting the win button more punishing but I don't think this is the fix at all if instead, the option was never there as in the win button never existing than that would circumvent the entire problem. in this analogy, the win button is cheating as this is almost impossible to remove if it was then the problem would never be there. my solution for making the punishment for cheating harsher is to remove cheating in general, but suppose that wasn't possible I would double whatever the current punishment because if kids are barely doing it now doubling the punishment would certainly remove a lot more.

2)  In paragraph two, evaluate at least one argument against harsher punishments for cheating in school.  You must include at least one outside source, using in-text citation (author, website, date).

 In the south capital punishment is the way people learn theirs. if nature doesn't kill people the schools might. direct punishment for not completing assignments on time or capital punishment at all in school is only prevalent in 19 states. I feel the reason they do this is for schools to be very harsh on students so that when they to the "real world" it feel much easier thought this is just speculation.  whether or not what I think this is evidence supporting that this doesn't do much at all. according to PMC they say "disproportionately apply corporal punishment to children who are Black, to boys, and to children with disabilities. This policy report is the first-ever effort to describe the prevalence of and disparities in the use of school corporal punishment" which to me sounds like discrimination to people based off of their color and birth. this is not what America is supposed to be like, we are the land of the free. 

3) In paragraph three, justify your position on harsher punishments for cheating in school.

I think that video game physically can be brought out to the real world in some ways. one of these ways in cheating. the reason I think this is because creating a test is a lot like a video game developer creating a level. there has to be a good challenge but not so much that they don't know what's going on. there also needs to be a decent background on the subject of design the test/ level. if there was a way to cheat either system both people would do that so in a video game aspect there are two solutions. one remake the level as there is a big flaw and its because of the level. the second is more applicable to the situation at hand, make the flaw a feature but make it almost impossible to complete. currently, we are trying to create option two but if possible go with one. I think that if cheating was never an option it would obviously be the best option.
