Plagiarism Isserman

As i read this article i had a better understanding of the effect plagiarism has. How plagiarism is not only used by students but also by people like Eugene Tobin. Although he did do the right thing and resign while admitting plagiarism it did effect others in the process. It began questioning the point in which one decides what is plagiarism. Is there actually a point to where it is not plagiarism. This article reminds me of a time in high school when i had to do a research paper. When it was time to receive our papers back and their grades i was surprised to see that some students received F’s due to the fact that there papers were plagiarized. At that point i saw how serious people would get when someone just copy and pastes from web articles.
