Copy paste

Plagiarism nowadays is one of the gajillion problems of the world. It's not literally the number one problem. It's maybe on the 100th spot or to others maybe at the 50th. Whichever hell of the place problem it may be, it's still a problem. So yeah, Plagiarism is what ignorant and lazy people do. It is the act of copying someone else's hard work from the internet, research paper, a book, novel, homework and the like with claiming as their own work even if it isn't. It's being dishonest and it's being a fraud because we have to credit people's work. They worked hard for the piece of wrtitng and they deserved to be recognized. How would you feel if someone stole something you worked hard for? You would feel bad, right? You exerted effort and yet you don't get any credit. It's totally unfair.

Plagiarism is for instance, copy-pasting a wikipedia article for your homework. It is quoting a phrase from someone famous and not recognizing that the words are theirs. The internet is one place for plagiarism-er it's like plagiarism in the legal way for example is when one blogger copy paste's anything from another blogger without the credits for that another blogger. Get it? We may like the idea of a person and we may all have similar ideas but we never have that exactly the same idea. There's a difference, okay. Because if it is exactly the same, the words will also be exact but if it is similar, the words are somehow, placed in another order or the meaning will be the same. The act is called paraphrasing or comprehending something you read and put it into your own words.

It's okay to paraphrase sentences but it's forever wrong to plagiarize. It's stealing and if you are ethical enough about things like these, you wouldn't do it. Other people's work maybe better but if they can do it, why can't you? Plagiarism is again, stealing. We must always remember that a liar and a theft are twins  so if you consider yourself as a "plagiarism-er," people shouldn't trust you because you're also a liar. Plagiarism is basically stealing an idea or a masterpiece of someone else's mind. Don't waste your time stealing an essay or something, make your own.
