essay mills

I think essay mills are starting to become an active practice with students these days. I think this is happening because students; one, don't understand how to manage their time correctly, two, students don't want to write the essay, and three, get in over there heads with there studies by taking on more then they can handle.
Though I do believe with people believing they need to have perfect grades or perfect papers they will turn to these means of getting papers done more readily.

I can look at this in ways of yesterdays St Patrick's day festivities for most of the younger generation it has become socially acceptable to become completely drunk and forget yourself and have a good time. Where the actual meaning of St. Patrick's day is meant to be a feast day which is meant to celebrate St. Patrick but due to the media and advertising companies it has morphed over the years into a drinkers holiday.
