Justifying cheating

Can you justify any of these situations? Try one, all, or take a general approach.

Situation 1: you have no intentions of going into the medical field, so you see it as right to cheat on your biology exam.

Situation 2: if you had studied, you would have aced the exam, but you didn't study, so you cheat because you would have passed if you studied anyway.

Situation 3: you're going to fail the class if you don't pass the exam even though you're been trying to do well. So you cheat.

Situation 4: the education system is all crappy anyway, so who cares.

1 gives logical reasoning if and only if biology pertains soley to the medical field, which it doesn't. 2 and 3 deal specifically with not learning material outright and are flawed arguments to begin with as a result. The reasoning behind 4 should logically make you care a greater amount, not a less amount and thus it is also flawed.

They are all flawed arguments and therefore unjustifiable.

Situation 5: I took a class in Calculus. I never got higher than a C- on the exams and homeworks. I was tutored by the professor and other teachers. I took out all the books on Calculus from the library and studied them. I went to any website that offered tutorials.

Because I worked hard, I believed I could make it and didn't drop the class. Come finals, I still couldn't manage half the problems. My scholarship depended on my passing that class. What do I do in this situation? Keep in mind that I'm an English major.

in that situation cheating is probably your only option, though it does beg the question of why you took calculus in the first place.
