Answer 1

**Agesim is a natural process which every individual will come across. There are many cultures which respect elders and follow their orders and consider them to be a decision maker in the family. They are cared for during their end of life process with dignity ,love and affection but this is not prevalent in certain cultures who consider elders to be a biggest burden in their life to be cared for. They tend to put their elders to death if with poor health or handicapped .Most of the people in American culture follow this .Even the elders when they are severely ill or handicapped request to end their life with medical assistance because of inadequate or lack of care from their own family members.This is because of lifestyle changes, busy life schedule ,running behind money and poor family bond has made them not to value  human dignity when they age.

**Copying or plagiarism is not morally acceptable in any situations or circumstances even if it belongs to a very close friend. This is because it is an act of stealing someone's work or simply getting things effortless.The copyright material can be referred for ideas but not copied by a student. This method can help the student gain knowledge otherwise copying can cost the career of the student in future
