My feelings on plagirism are that it is wrong and very serious. I think at times people don't realize they are doing it and this is why people need to pay better attention. It is ok to use a quote from someone else but we must give them credit for it and use proper citation, and use references for their work. Other people may want to read the article, website or book of that reference to find out more information as well.
Many peolple use plagirism and I have seen this on a discussion board in another term and I knew it was plagirism because the article they posted as their own was one I used in reference on my own post. Many people do this because they are lazy and don't want to put in the work of researching themselves so they take advantage of other people studies, work and research as their own.
It is important to give those credit who have devoted their precious time and effort into whatever information or subject they have given out to the world for us to learn and read from. It is the right thing to do. I feel like plagirism has gotten worse over the years and now days there are data bases for teachers to check many websites to view to check for plagirism. This is a great tool so that these people can get spoken to and someone can tell them the seriousness of this action.
Have a nice week,
Honey
