Be original!

In this article we read about plagiarism and some of the serious results of it. In reality plagiarism is to basically steal someone else’s idea and call it your own. It’s similar to copyrighting but differs where copyright requires permission and one can’t really request permission to steal someone else’s work. Sometimes we read something somewhere of interest and it sticks to us. unintentionally the words that we read can be used again without realizing that they’re actually not your own. Plaigiarism can actually result in expulsion from schools and legal actions can be taken. It wouldn’t be right if someone works so hard to put their thoughts together and another person who is too lazy to think, thinks they can use someone else’s ideas as their own.
