Plagiarism

 Plagiarism could be described as many things as “theft” or “literacy crime” and that’s exactly what it is, it’s a very much occurring situation where people’s own literacy that they created is being copied by someone else as an attempt to do less work and potentially make it look like the plagiarizer’s writing is better than expected.  This is also used with any ideas and writing styles. The common ways where plagiarism is identified is failure to put quotations around text that is directly copied from another source as well as no credit given to the source of the original writing/ideas.  

  As expected it is very easy to make your writing seem like it’s plagiarized whether it is intentional or not, it is also very easy to spot by editors or teachers. A few ways to write freely while not plagiarizing are understanding the context or content you are presenting, this will give you more freedom to write in your own words while staying on topic at all times. Another way is quoting any copied text that’s helpful for the topic to enhance you’re context as well as keep it unplagiarised.
