The term “plagiarism” has seemed to make its mark in the world by letting people know to not copy other people’s work. In the article “Plagiarism: a lie of the mind,” written by Maurice Isserman, he talks about what plagiarism is not in order for his audience to understand what plagiarism is. In my opinion, i feel that plagiarism has its reasons to be present and enforced because then we would just be saying the same thing someone else said instead of saying it in our own words and understanding it. It should be more enforced in literature since work is being published but i don’t think it should be enforced verbally. Verbal plagiarism is something that can’t be controlled.
