are my quick tips for correct make-up application to suit the shape of your features as well as shaping your lovely eyes for fun summer outings. Find you face shape below and follow the steps of application:

Square shape face: Contour the four corners of your face, (sides of the forehead and sides of the jaw line) by applying one shade darker than your base colour. Highlight the chin and forehead with a shade lighter than your base colour. Round or oval frames shades with soft

curves will compliment your beauty.

Oblang shape face: Contour the forehead and chin, using one shade darker than your base colour. No highlighting. Wrap style glasses work well on this face shape.

Broad nose: Contour the sides of the nose using a shade darker than your base colour. Then highlight the center (bridge to tip) with a shade lighter than your base colour.

Short nose: Shade the sides of the nose with a

shade darker than your base. Highlight the Centre from the bridge to the tip of the nose.

CORRECTIVE MAKE UP FOR EYES

. Small eyes: Dark shadow is your enemy! Your goal is to make your eyes more open and bigger. Use only frosted colours on the lid. Blend the lid colour on the outer corners. Apply a white pencil on the inside of the rim of the eyes.

Deep eyes: Apply a light bright colour to the lid. Our goal is to bring your eyes forward by accentuating them. Apply shading to the natural crease of the lids.

purposeful logic for strategy was proposed by Mitroff.11 He offers the idea that strategy, or as he refers to it, policy, can be formulated in terms of the

formal logic of argument. As such, a policy position or line of strategic direction is a claim, supported by warrants based on evidence, and surviving against rebuttal. This idea also carries weight as a contributor to strategic thinking because it requires precise specifi cation of the elements and considerations in formulating a strategic position, incorporating explicit rejection of alternatives. This logical basis does not solve the problem of formulating strategy; it simply assists by providing a framework for thinking. More recently, a further framework for the logic of strategy is proposed in terms of harmony and confrontation in commercial competition.12 This idea is based on the observation that much of corporate behaviour involves peaceful co-existence among market-oriented fi rms. While a fi rm’s vital interests are not placed under threat

Classic perspectives

Although the connection between business and strategy is relatively recent, our heritage in strategic thinking has a very long history. It is over 2500 years since Sun Tzu13 wrote his military treatise. At about the same time Kautilya14 was providing comprehensive advice to King Chandragupta on

Clausewitz.17 This group of scholars of strategy is neither exclusive nor comprehensive in their insights; no doubt others also have had considerable inﬂ uence in their times.18 It is clear, however, that Sun Tzu, Kautilya, Alexander, Machiavelli and von Clausewitz are historical ﬁ gures with enduring reputations and this is the basis for their selection to contribute to Principles of Strategy.19 A background sketch for each author is offered below.

profoundly powerful and plainly practical. Sun Tzu recognised war as a recurrent conscious act and not a passing and painful aberration in human affairs. This rationality is the basis of the detached analysis which forms the essence of his theory. Most importantly, Sun Tzu is aware that armed struggle is always costly and should not be undertaken recklessly. Because of the inevitable cost and mutual disadvantage arising from application of direct force, he sees it as a last resort. Far better, he argues, to attack the

plans and ideas of a rival and even better still to undermine an opponent’s morale. Attack a rival’s intentions rather than his army or cities. The objective is elimination of the will to resist, not annihilation of the enemy.

REALFACTS WHY IS CHEATING WRONG?

Since cheating is obviously wrong, arguments against it (it provides an unfair advantage, it hinders learning) need only be mentioned in passing. But the argument of unfair advantage absurdly takes education to be essentially a race of all against all; moreover, it ignores that many cases of unfair (dis)advantages are widely accepted. That cheating can hamper learning does not mean that punishing cheating will necessarily favor learning, so that this argument does not obviously justify sanctioning cheaters.

Keywords: academic dishonesty, academic integrity, academic misconduct, education, ethics,homework, plagiarism

ASKING

WHY

CHEATING is wrong may seem a silly question or a gratuitous provocation. Indeed, since “just about everyone agrees that cheating is bad and that we need to take steps to prevent it” (Kohn, 2007), no question seems warranted and no argument seems needed. Talk about cheating is then a matter of outrage: “students STOLE a password and then they used it to CHEAT” (Lingen, 2006), “plagiarism is WRONG no matter what the extent” (Parmley, 2000). A. J. Ayer would have said that a claim that cheating is wrong is just writing ‘cheating’ followed by some special exclamation mark — Lingen and Parmley prefer capitals. If asked why cheating is wrong, they may reply by using a larger font or boldface. Yet, 38

typography is not a scientific method conducive to the truth: cheating is not wrong because it is capitalized.

common view is that cheating is forbidden and cheaters break a rule. For instance, the focus of Burkill and Abbey (2004) on “regulations” and on “penalties” for “ignoring academic conventions” indicates that to them the main reasons for students to avoid cheating are obedience to rules and avoidance of penalties. However, Alfie Kohn (2007) draws attention to those “cases where what is regarded as cheating actually consists of a failure to abide by restrictions that may be arbitrary and difficult to defend”. Breaking a rule is

NOVEMBER 2018 | ISSUU.COM/ROYALROUGEMAGAZINE

illegitimate only if the rule is legitimate. Either the rule has a rational justification and this rather than breaking a rule makes cheating wrong, or the rule is arbitrary and there is no reason to endorse it. In other words, cheating should be forbidden because it is wrong, not wrong because it is forbidden. Obviously, the wrongness of cheating should be an ethical not a bureaucratic question. As Drake (1941) pointed out, cheating can be frustrating to the instructors, who may “interpret such behaviour as a direct affront to themselves.” When Johnston (1991) found out that students had cheated she felt betrayed: “how could they do this to me?”.

RELATIONSHIPS While this may explain better than genuine arguments why teachers dislike cheating it does not show that cheating is wrong. It is interesting to note that this is generally not offered as an argument in articles looking at cheating in a ‘cold’ objective way but can be found in more personal papers, such as that of Johnston. This seems to acknowledge that this is both a

It is a wide-spread error in issues of cheating to assume that cheating is obviously wrong (Bouville, 2007b; 2008b; 2008c). In particular, if one does not know why cheating is wrong one cannot set policies that would solve the problem. In this section, I will focus on the relationship between cheating and grades: cheaters receive undeservedly high grades and

real reaction of the ‘victims’ of cheaters and not perceived as a valid argument against cheating. The research on cheating is empirical and focuses on quantification and correlations; yet finding out how many and which students cheat is of importance only if cheating itself is important. And cheating is important only if it is wrong. Since everything else depends on it, the question of the wrongness of cheating is the most important question. It is the object of this article.

thus an unfair advantage over other students. 1.1 Grades as setting how good a student is A fairly common view is that grades are the same as the value of the student. (I will use ‘value’ and ‘worth’ as shorthand for knowledge, talent, competence, etc.) For instance when their children get poor grades, parents start worrying. They may also demand that their child get better grades (e.g. threatening or promising). This may mean that the grade is an infallible evaluation of how good a student is, so that if grades are low it can only be

1 CHEATING AND GRADES

because the student does not work enough. Another possibility is that grades actually define how good a student is, i.e. there is no concept of the worth of the student independent of grades. Since these views are seldom made explicit, what people actually believe is fuzzy. However, it is enough for us to see that many equate grades and how good the student is. The main issue with this view is that if grade and value are the same then cheaters are good students, since they get good grades. When teachers give a bad course grade to a student they deem good, it must mean that their impression was mistaken since the grade proved that the student was not in actuality so good. This is the only possible conclusion if one takes grades to define how good students are (and this is naturally not a conclusion one can endorse). Plainly, if anything is to be said against cheating, one must recognize that grades are but a proxy for how good students are, an approximation of what they know, what they can do. It is thus possible for grades and worth to be different; every teacher has given grades that did not seem to correspond to what the students ‘were worth’ — some students are not good at taking tests, a student may have made a silly and costly mistake, etc. (also see Bouville, 2007a). Cheating is another source of discrepancy.

NOVEMBER 2018 | ISSUU.COM/ROYALROUGEMAGAZINE

1.2 Cheating and the future success of the students One should note that, since it is of the nature of grades to describe student performance, a grade that is a poor description is a poor quality grade. Such a grade is like a map of a city that does not actually represent the streets of this city; but if no one ever were to use this map, the problem would be a purely abstract one (and in particular it would not justify to blame and fire who drew the faulty map). Inaccurate grades matter only if someone somehow acts upon them. Otherwise I could just as well assign −π as a grade, this would make no difference. Naturally grades are concretely used: grades are a proxy for what students know and can do, which is in turn used as a proxy for what students may be able to do in the future. In other words, grades are used as predictors of future success: high school grades are used for admission to universities; un40

dergraduate grades for graduate school, law school grades to infer how good a lawyer the student will be, etc. In admissions, one looks at grades only in order to guess how well students may do in the future: how well they did in the past is not interesting per se — the past is important only inasmuch as it pertains to the future (if there were no correlation between grades in year n and academic success in year n+1 then the use of grades would plummet.) Therefore, any time grades do not correspond to how well students can be expected to perform a poor decision will be made. Such decisions can be called unfair since they may advantage less deserving students. 2 LIMITS OF THE ARGUMENT OF UNFAIR ADVANTAGE 2.1 The difficulty to use grades Admission to universities is based on how students fare in high school, admission to graduate school

NOVEMBER 2018 | ISSUU.COM/ROYALROUGEMAGAZINE

on how good students are as undergraduates, etc. This means that one always uses someone else’s criteria, even though they are not obviously relevant. High school is about learning (one may fare well with little talent if one has enough memory and is willing to spend time filling it) whereas higher education requires more understanding. In fact high school sometimes even penalizes the more gifted students, who may have difficulty following a fastidious (and to them useless) procedure or justifying something blatantly obvious, which high school teachers require from them for full credit (this is especially common in math). Likewise graduate students are supposed to invent new things, not just learn from others. Being able to digest what others found is handy but not sufficient to do good research — so one may be an excellent undergraduate but a poor PhD student.

Using undergraduate results (beyond proof of adequate knowledge and understanding) to guess how good a PhD student will be means trying to infer apples from oranges. Why then would the quality of the oranges make any difference? The inference is flawed even in the absence of cheating. There is another reason why a grade is of little help to estimate the future success of students. Hall et al. (1995) found that a deep approach to learning correlated negatively with SAT scores; students who merely learned by rote and who minimized their involvement or tried to get good grades without caring about what they learnt obtained higher scores than students who sought a deeper understanding of what they were taught. In other words, students who had good work habits and a sound mindset that would help them succeed in the long run received lower SAT scores — students most likely to succeed are treated as least desirable.

2.2 Discipulus discipulo lupus

There can be an unfair advantage only in those cases of direct competition between students. Entrance exams and other ‘high stake’ tests are an example. Homework is not. The argument of unfair advantage is thus limited in its scope. It will nevertheless be invoked in cases where it does not apply. How teachers see cheating is an interesting clue of how they see education. Taking cheating to be essentially a matter of

unfair advantage means that education is one big race of all against all — discipulus discipulo lupus. For instance, the goal of homework is not the assignment of grades but rather to have students learn a lesson by putting it to practice; the main reason for grading homework is that some students may need such a carrot. Treating cheating on homework as essentially a matter of a student getting an unfair advantage means losing sight of what one is trying to accomplish. Not only is the focus generally on grades rather than on learning, grades rather than learning are seen as the issue in cases where grades are irrelevant.

is involved yet a grade is clearly a bad estimate of how good a student is, i.e. an unfair (dis)advantage. It is then unclear, if teachers are not bothered by such incongruities, why similar discrepancies would be problematic when due to cheating. Picture a student who has an essay proofread by his parents or a personal tutor; the student did all the writing but received help that contributed to improving his work (e.g. that section is unclear, this book should be of help). He will get a better grade than a student of equal intelligence and talent who cannot receive or afford any such help. This is an unfair advantage but one would not call it cheating (whatever one thinks of the unfairness of the situation, the favored student did nothing wrong).

2.3 Unfair advantage without cheating

If grades are used to 1 The reason why grades trump one’s intuition of the value of students is probably that they are objective and thus superior to the subjective opinion of a teacher. But if grades claim that good students are bad, of what exactly are they an objective measure? Grading based on the number of points the student’s name would get in Scrabble is objective as well; it is also completely silly (also see Bouville, 2007a). Saying that the objectivity of grades is their main quality means that what they actually measure is of secondary importance. “What grades offer is spurious precision” (Kohn, 1994). This, again, undermines the meaning of grades as measure of the value of the students.

It is common for teachers to knowingly give a student a grade that is evidently inadequate: for instance they commonly give a good student a bad grade, fully aware that the student deserves better... but the grade that came out of the exam is the grade that came out of the exam. And they do not mind doing so. When a grade is a poor assessment of the value of the student, it is the grade that wins (for instance, it is this faulty assessment that will be part of transcripts, not the actual worth of the student).1 If one does not see a major problem with grades being decorrelated from how good students are then the fact that the grades of cheaters do not reflect their actual value should not be a problem either. In other words, there are cases in which no cheating

WOMEN ON FLICK

Things About Pabatso Masenyetse I’m Pabatso Masenyetse, second born of two girls originally born in Lesotho and currently staying in Johannesburg. I did a Certificate in Information Communications Technology in Lesotho and furthered my studies in Cape Town at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology whereby I studied a Diploma in Business management and BTech in Project Management. There after worked for a few companies before relocating to Johannesburg.

What drives me and keeps me motivated is to inspire other women about their body size and skin colour. And to give them light, confidence

and hope of who they are, their background and that they should be proud in their natural hair. And again, I’m a mother to a daughter whom I’m grooming and making her understand that no matter your size and skin colour and upbringing she must have confidence in who she is.

Ever since I was as young as 10, I’ve been modelling in competitions like Miss St. James (which was my primary school) Miss Lesotho and for clothing designers.

It’s hard to balance work and other commitments as I am a single parent therefore at times, I must prioritise some gigs or jobs and take care of my daughter. And as a female I still face some discrimination when it comes to getting gigs or work. My inspiration is Naomi Campbell because I used to get laughed at as a child because I have thin legs and I used to be taller than my age mates and I got to realise that she has the same legs and height as me and that made me gain more confidence to be in the modelling industry.

I would love to work with Connie Ferguson (she’s both an actress

and a model), Hulisani Ravele, Charlize Theron and Thandie Newton.

In my spare time I do catering for small to medium functions/groups, I’m a director of a cleaning company that focuses on upholstery, carpets and window cleaning and destress by reading or going to the gym at least four times a week if I get the chance.

8. 9.

I’m spontaneous, determined and gorgeous.
