A Different Perspective On Plagiarism By Dahlia Syahrani M

In “The Bedford Researcher,” Mike Palmquist (2015), identifies the consequences regarding work that has been plagiarized, and plagiarism is taken very seriously, because it guards intellectual property, and recognizes academic work has owners, this “protects an author’s time and energy that is invested into creating a document” (p. 127). Plagiarism can be an accidental or deliberate use of someone’s else’s ideas, thoughts, writings, and evidence without giving credit to the source(Palmquist, 2015, p. 127).

As the world around us is growing rapidly everyday, we are easily overwhelmed by tons of new information. We rarely have the chance to think how digital technologies affect the way we gather the information and whether we are using it correctly. In the article “ Something Borrowed” by Malcolm Gladwell, he asserts that it is okay to use old ideas as long as the new work is transformative, and in the article The Plagiarist’s Tale” by Lizzie Widdicombe, she argues that copying is a creating process and continuous borrowing is a kind of art. Both the authors agree that borrowing is deemed to be acceptable as long as they are not entirely copying old work. It is true that everyone can have there own definition of plagiarism, and I believe that nothing

Plagiarism refers to the purposeful or accidental use of text without properly giving credit to its author. Bucks County Community College, A Statement from the Facility states the following, “It must help them to make connections among disciplines, help them develop an integrated view of knowledge, and help them recognize that their use of knowledge always carries consequences, as well as moral and ethical responsibilities.” An elaborated look at this sentence defines the responsibility we as students carry in our educational meaning. While plagiarism can be unintentional, taking credit for someone else 's work is wrong, students should consistently cite work while, professors should be aware of any plagiarism errors in order to correct them. Administrators should also voice plagiarism and enforce it, and most importantly the community at large should become aware of the wrongs in plagiarism to avoid further piracy.

Plagiarism in writing, which could be defined as borrowing a creator’s original ideas and/or words without attributing credits where it’s due, is considered a big concern in higher-education level. The difference in ways of writing among regions and countries baffled me, thus resulted in my interest in the topic. One of the ethical issue concerns the role cultural background plays in forming students’ way of writing: some believe that plagiarism is acceptable in Asian countries, claiming plagiarism is a concept produced and mainly employed into practice in the Western nations, while other counter plagiarism is perceived the same way everywhere in the world – to be frowned upon. This essay will mainly explore the notion of whether culture shapes the way students perceive plagiarism, and if the previous statement stands true, should it be appreciated as one’s tradition.

In today’s era of education, plagiarism is a global issue; each academic institution is facing heavy issue. Plagiarism is derived from the Latin word “predatory”, which means kidnapping or theft. "Plagiarism, broadly defined, encompasses presenting other people’s ideas as your own without clearly giving

Pennycook’s essay “Borrowing Others’ Words: Text, Ownership, Memory, and Plagiarism” starts with a description of the incident that a student wrote some paragraphs of the high school textbooks into the essay. The first node appears after the description of the trigger, followed by the detailed analysis of how the historical notions of ownership and authorship have evolved from the premodern to the modern era (Pennycook, 203). This node which alters the discourse from the portrayal of the studying motivation to the exploration of the historical and cultural factors in depth highlights the importance and necessity of the exploration.

Hi all good comments indeed! Within the clinical trials plagiarism is perhaps the commonest ethical issue plaguing medical writing according to the article from Natasha Das and Monica Panjabi: Plagiarism: “Why is it such a big issue for medical writers?”. We have very well described definition in this article about the different types of plagiarism such as plagiarism of ideas, mosaic plagiarism, self-plagiarism, and duplicate publication, etc. In this field we may detected at the level of the author, the reviewer, or the editor so basically the idea is that if the author is doing such practice the reviewer should alert and reject that and in for instance both situation move ahead the editor must stop and ask for correction before publishing

Although Plagiarism is inherently wrong and should be viewed by all as such, I do feel as though it has become the cultural norm. One of the most recent examples of this was the speech given my Melania Trump at the RNC national convention, in which Mrs. Trump's speech writer admitted to using parts of a speech previously given by First Lady Michelle Obama without giving her proper credit. After which, we witnessed on a national level an attempt to cover up a lie with another lie. I believe that in some ways it was because of the gray area around shared thoughts or ideas, as well as some initial embarrassment which caused her to claim that she wrote the speech. This example shows how easy and commonplace plagiarism has become, and the public

People often think that they can get away with appropriating as their own the work of another person. Many believe that paraphrasing an idea or altering the words in a sentence of another does not constitute plagiarism. The cases presented earlier on in the course showed the foolish notions of some students when they thought that they can claim innocence regarding their plagiarism and not be held liable. I understand the importance of respecting and acknowledging the works of others in the academic community. As a Catholic, I realize that failure to properly credit and acknowledge the authorship of others is tantamount to intellectual property theft and stealing is a mortal sin. No student can claim innocence since the issue of plagiarism is taught early on in schools. I also would not like to take credit for something I did not do or think of. If I do, I would only be deceiving myself and no one

Plagiarism is using someone else’s work, words, production, researches and ideas without the approval or the acknowledgment of the writer or producer, and claiming the credit for himself. Many reasons and factors are attributed for the use of plagiarism and could be cultural, historical, linguistic, environmental and educational background. Plagiarism is a form of an academic dishonesty, academic misconduct, and a digital cheating. It is declared to be an unacceptable legal act and institutional regulations. And universities, schools, and instructors do not only need to decrease plagiarism, but they must also affect positively on students writings, increase the understanding of how to use digital technology to facilitate their academic writing.

“ put that in your own words!, Rephrase, try again,” don't you hate it when the teachers say that when you write something for them like a paper or something? Like they won't stop until they make sure everything is in your own words/rephrased before it goes to submit. Sometimes teachers aren't like that even they'll just give you a big fat zero and fail you right then and there. But this is why i have come to explain to you why this is important issue nowadays and how there are ways to fix it. Since there can be an extravagant amount of issues I narrowed it down to just 3 main things; a.) how it's important how you don't anger people if they found out you plagiarized and the power of quotation marks b.) it's going to turn into

You thief, you thief, was angrily yelled out. Harsh words that no man wants to be called. The American Heritage College Dictionary defines thief as: “One who steals” (American Heritage College Dictionary, 2004). A premise can be seen if a person creates, writes or establishes a concept, and if another person uses their work without giving the originator proper credit; then one can conclude that plagiarism has been conducted. The dangers of committing plagiarism first starts in a person heart regardless if one is a Christian or not; however, this paper will attempt to provide three main reasons why one commits plagiarism and a Christian perspectives on those dangers.

“Copying’ or “borrowing” someone else’s words or ideas may perhaps be the more inoffensive way of explaining plagiarism. However, these two terms may deliver a connotation that plagiarism is not much of a serious offense. Whether the act of plagiarising is intentional or unintentional, it is considered as a fraud. In an academic setting plagiarism may even

Even if it might improve the original work, Fadiman gives sympathy to original authors because she has first-hand experience on being the victim of plagiarism. She states “I take issue with these placable attitudes because I know, from an experience within my own family, how much plagiarism can hurt” (109). There is a continued feeling of animosity as Fadiman elaborates on her personal story of plagiarism. She concludes that plagiarists should feel guilty because the credit of the

In colloquial language plagiarism is the concept of stealing someone’s piece of work or someone’s idea. It is clear that plagiarising is unjust and immoral, however now a days it is becoming more difficult to come up with original ideas as the media allows students to have open access to all information and the producer or author must be very careful to not use somebody else’s work unintentionally and claim it as theirs. It is important to educate students about plagiarism as it can carry major consequences. The concept of plagiarism with reference to policy will be outlined and also the steps helping students and authors to avoid plagiarism in this assignment.
