The scoundrels of the task in class are mostly male and donkeys in mathematics. It is the identikit emerged from a study on the art of inspiration, practical pardoned by 77% of the teachers. A very different opinion on what a German minister forced to resign. Primacy of land surveyors, 45% help from you fellows. Compared to 11% in classic

is from these data, combined with extensive research and breeding, which started the sociologist Marcello Dei for his "Boy, you copy," which comes out tomorrow for the mill with a foreword by Ilvo Diamonds. The researcher and others (in the case of high school, Rita Chiappini) have also classified the feelings of those draws with both hands, hiding the professor: 6 out of 10 are indifferent, one in four is especially pleased with the cleverness shown. The joy than a whiff of guilt: 38.5 percent versus 37.1. A mental attitude far, apparently, from the German, who has just pushed the resignation Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, exposed as a student script, or regulations of major American universities that provide for the expulsion in the case of plagiarism.
On the other hand, in Italy, who does not copy does not do it for virtue. "Shyness and pride. They are the two flaws that prevented me from doing it, but I would not have found anything wrong - Dominic admits Starnone, writer and former professor, author and former Chair Undercounter - I was also quite angry with my mates who copied obsessively while I worked hard on the books. Later, as a teacher, I have taken seriously the possibility of allowing students to access sources: how do, for example, to write something non-trivial in a literary theme if you do not have the opportunity to see the text? Who does not know anything, however, is not able to do that either. "Same problem for scientists: copy is an art and requires skill." To steal a math mate must understand the formulas, otherwise wrong - says the mathematician Piergiorgio Odifreddi - In addition, it takes a great faith in the ability of the other, for example, I often did not have, believe to be the best ... It copies from the time of Pythagoras, and genes like him are rare: most of us, even after school, does nothing more than rehashing what has already been made by others. "
tolerance is widespread." Copying - Of felt in his new book - it's like playing cops and robbers. Requires the interaction between copier and guardian, and maybe third accomplice. "Moreover, as revealed by his data, only 24.4 percent of teachers considered the fact of copying the task in class" very reprehensible, "while those who suggests the company may be forgiven according to 77 percent. The sample used by the author of fifth grade pupils and those of junior high, moreover, reveals that the defect is learned by children: those already in classes, in fact, a copy often the 4.7 per cent, and sometimes a larger 28.7, while only 25 percent said they completely virtuous. At the top of the league's math, that provides almost half of the opportunities for fraud. Children and young people, moreover, are not particularly suppressed: the question "were you discovered?" 58.3 percent of the scripts proudly answered "never", and the question "what happened when the teacher noticed it?" 6.2 per cent claims that nothing happened to 38.8 explains with relief that he had received "only a scolding," and was punished for 10.8 percent. "Stealing" the homework, on the other hand, is a victimless crime, at least in the perception of Italian students, and at most hurts those who commit it. Asked what is the harm of this behavior, 66.8 percent answered "the student that he does and gets a good grade is deceiving himself, "while only 6.6 believes that the injured party is the partner from whom you copied, and 12 percent for those regrets" instead studied.
Every so often, someone gets tired of having to switch tasks, such as astronomer Margherita Hack. "I made a big scene to my companions, I was tired of being exploited, and the rest did not go past 6 or 7," he says. The writer Claudio Magris makes it rather a question of loyalty: "Pass the note to his companion in trouble learn to be friends with someone standing next to." feels the same way Jacobacci Fabrizio, lawyer, holder of one of the most important studies in the world specializing in the protection of marks, and therefore anti-plagiarism strategies. "I was good at math - he says - and so did all my friends were able to copy from me. At least then I could not see anything wrong."
And among the most famous coming out, how can we forget what a successful businessman, Luca di Montezemolo, who in May 2007 encouraged so students Luiss: "At school I was world champion of copying, I always managed to put close someone good and generous ...". Others, like the actor and director Moni Ovadia, claiming the thin thread that unites the tolerance between the benches with art, music, theater. "I copied, I copied some certain time - recalls Ovadia, who attended high school alla Scuola ebraica di Milano - Ora lo faccio di continuo, perché il mio lavoro non è altro che trasferire delle idee, possibilmente senza spacciarle per nostre. Un giorno un pianista klezmer di Cracovia suonò una canzone che mi piaceva molto, glielo dissi e mi rispose: "La musica è mia, le parole le ho rubate anche quelle". È stata una lezione di vita". Lontano dai palcoscenici e fuori dalle aule, però, esistono mondi dove il furto del lavoro altrui è considerato una bestemmia: "Cerchiamo di avere idee originali, ma se fossimo tentati di copiare i concorrenti se ne accorgerebbero subito - dice Anna Innamorati, pubblicitaria, presidente di McCann Erikson Italia - Paradossalmente, per noi, l'esistenza della Rete e la possibilità for everyone to watch the work of others has made it harder to plagiarism. "
The moral condemnation of the copy, however, is central to the American school system, where the word used is cheating, cheat." For those who study in the United States - says Daniela Del Boca, economist, professor, studies in between the two countries - it is a possibility that does not exist, especially once you reach college, where you pay a lot and usually you are very motivated. But copying is stigmatized since high school. Copy means not believing in yourself, which clashes with the individualism at the base of their thinking, while we generally tend to conform to a group. Personally, if I find a student who mint copy of his test, but mostly I try to accountability. "Most of the Professor, however, is not so optimistic, and set their arms in front of fake watches connected to the Internet or the old" cartridge "still in vogue, with the various translations tucked into the recesses of the belt. "What should we do? - Complains about the high school teacher Smimmo Luigi, one of many who have written to Marcello Dei - Dare to be translated versions of copyright, so they are unavailable? O isolate our classrooms, creating an area without phone field? Impossible. You just have to keep working. And hope. "
