Cheating is a primordial inclination in man. Cheating is an act of lying, deception, fraud, trickery, impersonation and the like. Men (and women too) do cheat just to attain an unfair advantage for selfish gains at the expense of others. You can consider the following examples / varieties of cheating:
a) a sportsperson found cheating--using banned drugs for capacity-enhancing;
b) a husband having a secret affair with another woman, or a wife enjoying a clandestine extra-marital love with another man; such an act of infidelity / adultery in marital relationship, or a similar act of violation of mutual trust in love in pre-marital man-woman relationship is not uncommon;
c) various sorts of academic cheating--plagiarizing papers in the tests, copying from other sources to claim originality in researches, forging documents to claim bonafide status and so on.
People cheat, to use Lady Macbeth's phrase, 'to catch the nearest way' to success. Since nothing succeeds like success, nothing fails like faiure, and nobody wants to fail in any pursuit in life. The more the rat-race for success accelerates, the more the desperation picks up, and hence the alarming frequency of cheating.
