Plagiarism: Video Analysis

Plagiarism is bad. You don’t need to be stealing nobody else’s work and claiming it as your own. You go out and read dang books, articles, web pages, songs, emails, etc. and don’t cite or just steal their work altogether. You got to be a special kind of person to want to do this kind of stuff. Citing info that you read is as easy as “giving credit and provide your audience with information on how to find the original source” (“Plagiarism”).

Taking someone’s words or writing could lead to loss of job/school, fines, and so much more.

Carnett said, “I lifted a portion of one of my columns and inserted it in the Daily Pilot piece without attribution.” He hadn’t cited his own work and now what he did was plagiarism. To Carnett, this was a total accident, but this shows that you should cite any information that you use. Although there are arguments that there is no such thing as plagiarism, “If a novelist uses a non-fiction book for research, how is that stealing? Non-fiction promises facts, there is no copyright in facts, ergo no stealing…” (Independent.co.uk) it is always best to give credit to the source that you received the information from; thus not having a chance of plagiarism.

The librarian visited our class to do a presentation regarding the APA Citation Style and Plagiarism.

Waiting till the last minute, you have no idea how and what you should do, so you feel looking up the answer would best benefit you. You’re rushing through the assignment, just worried about getting it done, you don’t think to cite. Without citing you’re taking credit from another person’s work.
