Plagiarism in my own words is when someone uses an other's work and or words while receiving credit for its original creator. To me integrity is deep and crucial. I would expect for a person to give me credit for something I did rather than just use my information for their own gratitude. There are some who feel that if not being caught is well and good, when in reality how can you turn in something that you know wasn't your ideas? especially without giving a thanks basically for helping create your paper and or project. While searching the web I came across one the many different cases of plagiarism. It was a story of a high school student who had copied and pasted his entire paper from various Internet sites. In return he failed the class receiving a zero and he had to take a special course of some type as other punishment. I feel that was a prop erjudgement for the crime, though many still plagiarise and never get caught. I think that it will always be on an issue, that can be easily corrected by citing all information. I do think that the Internet blurs the lines of "legally owned", due to the fact that you'd think would think that Internet isn't owned when clearly the sites such as YouTube, and or Wikipedia has some ownership it seems. Not truly sure but something to definitely research.
