plagiarism

                Plagiarism is a big part of our education, especially in my college life. Though Plagiarism is also used in jobs, I still don’t feel it since I am still in college. So, maybe by the next couple of years, I would be able to experience Plagiarism in my future job.

                But anyways, to define Plagiarism, according to Merriam Webster’s dictionary, Plagiarism is the act of using another’s works or ideas and present it as your own or you don’t credit the work to your owner. When I was still in grade school, I don’t know how big deal Plagiarism was. Even in high school, since we were still treated as kids, teachers knew how to handle Plagiarism in a safer manner. But now in my college years, Plagiarism could be done in a big deal. I’ve heard that there are instances that when  you plagiarize, you can be demanded to the court and some people may file a case against you. Plagiarism is something near to Fraud, since you say that you own it even if you don’t . Plagiarism can also be used intentionally and unintentionally. You are wondering how you can use Plagiarism unintentionally. Well, you can be unintentionally plagiarizing when you forgot to credit the owner of the work or idea that you have used. Plagiarism can be use in different ways. It can be in your document, your speeches, and your videos, with music, even with images. So to be safe, it would be better if you wouldn’t rely much on others’ works. Or if you do, don’t ever forget to credit the previous researchers/owners so your work would be good. And the best way to avoid Plagiarism is to write or make something from scratch that came for your mind. Have some originality. Write or make something new to your own eyes and even to the eyes of others. You may not know, your originality can be the cause of you being famous one of these years.
