Why Plagiarize?

Hey!, have a thought of it.




You probably got used to the idea that plagiarism haunts you everywhere. And you know for sure that the Internet is a kind of “plagiarism residence” – when something gets here, it often becomes “common knowledge” which means that defining authorship might be simply impossible because everybody can access and copy-paste what is published.

You know that in web space the boundary between “my” and “yours” erases naturally, and the Internet becomes a stock of ideas and solutions. You are free to use them, but the thing you should keep in mind is to be cautious. When people are given unlimited freedom, violations occur more frequently, and content checker tool can prove it.

You are lucky to have access to global information resources for no fee and anywhere the Internet connection is. Thus, according to the research conducted by Pew Research Center, 55% of college presidents admit that the number of plagiarized papers has increased over the recent ten years. 89% of them agree the Internet influenced students.



Do you remember times, when only experts (journalists, scholars, other public figures) had a chance to again bring their message to the world with the power of media? People used to write to newspapers and mes to make their opinions published. It’s all gone, and now we all can share our views online.


Do you know why public figures were allowed to speak out in media? It’s all about trustability. They have a good reputation and obviously care about their image. So, they take responsibility for what they say. And as a rule, the audience was likely to rely on their opinion.


Nowadays you don’t have to be in public figures’ shoes, the only thing required is Internet access. However, the credibility of information presented by non-experts is questionable. The thing you can do: not to count much on what you see in social media and double check information you use.


In order to be a decent Internet user and know how not to plagiarize, check these tips:


Use references: indicate who created material, no matter what it is – text, photograph, video or anything else.
Use checkers: sites to check for plagiarism are always helpful – you scan your document online and get result immediately, for example via Unplag Plagiarism Checker or ContentRescue.org.
Use your own ideas: get inspired by ideas of other people, but try to develop and express your own – they deserve to be heard of!
