When an individual wants to write a good essay, it is important for him/her come up with a pre-write. It simply means to state the main points or ideas that an individual intends to write about. This helps to maintain the flow of ideas in an essay or any other work that is being written down. Sometimes the word pre-write generally means anything that is written down before the final draft is written. It is on this basis that this piece of work tries to explore various feelings related to cheating and also answer some questions.

Cheating can be described as a way of making people to believe that a certain thing (idea) is true while in the real sense the thing is false (Stuart, p.19). A person may cheat others for her/his personal benefits. For example, a shopkeeper may cheat his/her customers that he/she sells to them the right quantities of the items they purchase while in the real sense he/she uses a weighing machine which has been adjusted to the disadvantage of the customers. In such a case, the shopkeeper is usually not satisfied with the profits which come out of the business and therefore wants to gain more profit by cheating the customers. In the context of a family, one spouse may cheat on the other by pretending to be faithful while in the real sense the spouse has other extra-marital affairs. In such a case, a person may cheat because of dissatisfaction in one way or the other. A person who has been cheated feels that unfairness has been done to him/her (Callahan, 89). However, cheating is not the same as stealing because stealing simply means taking something that belongs to someone else without the knowledge of the owner and without any intention of returning it back.

To cheat means to act in a dishonest manner (Stuart, p. 23). For example, in the case of the shopkeeper described above, the shopkeeper is not honest when he sells items which have less weight but pretending to be the right quantities. The shopkeeper is receiving money from the customers in a dishonest way for his personal benefits. Cheating is therefore considered to be a vice in a society because one party benefits while the other party is disadvantaged. When people find out that they have been cheated, they definitely feel bad.

In a family context, one spouse, for example a wife may have other emotional affairs outside the marriage but cheat the husband that she is faithful to him. If two parties are involved in a deal and one of them wants to gain more from the deal than the other without the knowledge of both of them, it amounts to cheating. In this case, one party has to hide some truth for personal gain. However, some people may mistakenly think that they have been cheated. Therefore, people need to be careful when differentiating truth from false.

I once had an experience with a doctor that made me to think that some doctors do not care for patients. It was a day when I took my brother to hospital when he was involved in a bicycle accident. The boy was seriously injured but the doctor did not seem to be in a hurry to attend to him until I asked him what the matter was. He told me that the boys condition was not all that bad and that a certain nurse was just finishing up some work before attending to him. I was becoming impatient and when he realized it, he left what he was doing and started attending to the boy.

The characters of the doctor I met were similar to the characters of the male intern that is described by Zuger in his article. For example, the male intern is described as someone who strictly defined his role and did not want to do work which belonged to others such as nurses. I think the doctor I met in the hospital also had the same characters because he told me that a certain nurse was finishing up some work before attending to my brother. This implied that he did not want to do the nurses work. Another notable similarity between the man (male intern) and the doctor is that both of them seemed to care but not bothered by conditions of their patients. This is because the man is described as a person who was interested in his patients but could not keep him up at night and the doctor I met seemed to have the same trait.

There are some notable differences between the behaviors of the doctor and the female intern described by Zuger in his article. The female intern is described as someone who could easily cry when a patient died but the doctor did not appear as one who could cry in such a situation. The female intern (referred to as woman by Zuger) could do all kinds of work in the hospital while the doctor strictly defined his role.

In conclusion, I think that the behaviors of the two interns should be changed. This is because medical practitioners should not overwork themselves as the woman was doing since this may lead to errors. On the other hand they should not appear to be avoiding work as the man was doing but they should work appropriately with enough rest.
