Unethical Academic Practices

I think  students cheat academically because they do that because they are lazy. They could also do it because they could think they are not smart enough. The student could have also procrastinated. Collusion should be just a warning the first time. It should be like that because it has not happened yet. You can’t punish someone for something that has not happened yet, that’s dumb. The students will have trouble getting jobs because they committed a crime in school.They will get a bad reputation because they cheated on school work. for the school I want to go to you will fail the course if you commit one of these crimes. 

 Star Wars vs Battlestar Galactica

Perhaps the most notorious case of copyright is that of Battlestar Galactica, who apparently 'borrowed' a little too much from Star Wars. 
Galactica was produced in the wake of the success of the 1977 film Star Wars. And sci-fi author Jerry Pournelle, starring on a guest panel in This Week in Teck (episode 223), explains that “20th Century Fox sued Universal Studios (the studio behind Battlestar Galactica) for copyright infringement, claiming that it had stolen 34 distinct ideas from Star Wars.” Among them was a character named Skyler, a tad too close to Skywalker, and the possibility of airing with the title "Star Worlds".  in this case Battlestar Galactica was stealing ideas from Starwars. the names Skywalker and Skyler were to close for Fox studios and Fox sued Universal studios for it.
