This example is only fiction:

A fifteen year old Amish boy and his father visited the city for the very first time. They wandered around, marvelling at the different sights. Eventually they got to a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but they were especially amazed at two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.
The boy asked, "What is this Father?" The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is." While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheelchair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button.
The walls opened, and the lady passed between them into a small room. The walls closed, and the boy and his father watched the small numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number, and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.
Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blond woman stepped out. The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son... "Junior, go get your Mother." image

SEQUEL:

The man sent his wife up in the elevator, and when it returned, the fat lady in the wheel chair came out.

The man fainted.

The wages of unholy ideas... :O

There was also this "plumber story", in which the man fainted - lol.

Writing skills and knowledge is essential for individuals to write down a high-quality essay. If the writer with less knowledge about their theme, them the essay will be very boring for the readers.

@ Marianne:

Is there a dissertation writing service in Bangalore?

Maybe the movers are branching out.  :D

@T(h)ink

Lol - I am sure that they have such services in every place where they have universities, and I suppose that they are indeed trying to find more clients, and as long as their technical assistance (with instructions or lessons) is allowed within the given limits, there should be no problems. Formerly, at least, there was a "market" for typing jobs (to allow a legible, clean and correct presentation of the texts), eventually proofreading (if allowed), perhaps assistance for certain page displays, schemes, pictures, drawings, printing assistance, etc. (if allowed) and, in case of need, translations into foreign languages.

But you are certainly thinking of plagiarism and "ghostwriters" ...

:O:angel::D

@ Marianne:

I think ghostwriting (and/or plagiarism) is often implied. :O

Sadly, yes, I heard about many scandals and intrigues, and there have been repeatedly polemics especially in France (they referred lately to very strict rules in US universities), the U.K. Germany and many other countries, often reported by the news since many years, as rules, values and limits vary, and limits vary from one place or site to the other.

Ghostwriters existed since long and in ancient times the great and rich ones, including philosophers and authors had their scribes, often slaves and servants.


I looked for news in English:

@ Marianne:

Yes, plagiarism and cheating are more common among international students studying in the US.  Apparently such behavior is more acceptable in many of their home countries.

My grandfather once told me of tiny little dictionaries (3 or 4 cm in height) that many German students used to cheat with during exams in language classes. :angel:

Wow - yes, they cited certain countries:

in Germany

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/06/26/study-links-procrastination-and-bogus-excuses-german-university-students

and, about a German student:

http://www.spiegel.de/lebenundlernen/uni/schummeln-an-der-uni-in-klausuren-und-hausarbeiten-ein-student-packt-aus-a-1129899.html

:ermm:

and I heard also about big networks of various official and not so official students' and "help" associations and clubs or, especially on your side, partly secret brotherhoods and sisterhoods, involved in various more or less "idealistic" and, "sometimes", dubious events and practices, involving hazing, dangerous experiences, alcohol, drugs, porn, rapes, etc., etc.


Weird, lately, we had again certain insights into hazing and doubious practices in universities and other educational institutions - and that confirms quite a few "bothering" assumptions.
