Tip:

This year, several significant religious and cultural events fall on the same day. March 21 is the UN International Day for the Elimination of Racism. In the Christian tradition, this year it is also Good Friday where Christians commemorate Christ’s passion and death on the cross to pay for the world’s sins. Also this year, it is the Jewish holiday of Purim which celebrates victory over an oppressive ruler as related in the Book of Ester. Hindus will celebrate Holi on March 21 this year, which is a festival dedicated to Krishna. Baha’is and Zoroastrians will celebrate New Years Day on March 21 (Naw Ruz and Now Ruz). Finally, to cap off the significant events occuring on this day, there will also be a full moon.

Abstract: The Internet's Impact on Cheating

Scenario One: You're having an affair and deeply worried your wife will discover that the regular Wednesday evening business gathering is really a ruse to meet your lover at her apartment. What would you pay to have someone pretend they are the organizer of the "business" event?

Scenario Two: You received a glossy invitation in the mail to attend a free make-over, which you show to your husband. He doesn't realize you've paid for a ready-made alibi.

These and many other scenarios are being created by a German company by the name of "Perfect Alibi". From its website you can order dozens of services and business is booming. It now has over 170 full time employees and is spreading to the UK.

In Canada, the Ashley Madison Agency is taking the business of organized cheating one step further: for a fee it will find you someone to have an affair with.

Its trademarked slogan: "When Monogamy Becomes Monotony".

And then there are the dozens of downloads that can instantly hide what you are looking at on the Internet when a boss or wife walks into your room. Called "panic buttons", one click will instantly kill your illicit browsing and change it into a boring spreadsheet.

The so a reasonable journalistic question is: what is the impact of the Internet on moral behaviour?
