I think plagiarizing is unethical because you are taking someones work, which they could have worked very hard on. If the world had many people plagiarize, the world wouldn't be fair. It would be a world of cheaters, people who steal other's efforts and call it theirs.

DeleteI agree!
DeletePlease remember if you comment on another's post, give a deeper comment other than "I agree", or "good job". Say WHY you agree (or disagree). The WHY is always the most interesting read!
Delete#1. If you plagarise you can fail the report or project and in collage or high school you can get expelled.
ReplyDeleteI think that plagiarizing is bad because you are not doing anything on your own and not learning about the topic you are doing.What would happen if everyone in the world plagiarized nobody could have their own work and never say that it is their work.
ReplyDeleteOne ways to aviod plagiarizing is to cite the book and or website they you are taking information from. Another way is to change the sentence.
ReplyDeleteWhat do we call "changing the sentence". What's the word we use in SPIRIT? It begins with Para____?
DeletePlagiarism is when you copy an artical word for word. If you do it you could get kicked out of school,you could also go to jail if your an adult, and if your a kid you could get a failing grade.
ReplyDeleteNice! I agree
DeleteThat's so true!
DeletePlagiarism is copying someone eleses work and claiming it as your own. You can get kicked out of collage and high school, and get into trouble in any other school.
ReplyDeleteI think that the world should not have plagerisers or the world might be in danger of alot of criminals and other bad people
ReplyDeleteYou could avoid plagiarism by giving the person who made it credit. Also you can use references to put the website or book credit and your teacher can go back and look back at it. One more way is go back to the website and copy the URL.
ReplyDeleteGood Lily!
Delete#3 I think plagiarizing is unethical because when your typing/writing sombody else found out your not giving them credit for finding the information and saying that you found it at the same time which is lying.
ReplyDeleteI think if there was lots of plagirizing in the world, the world would be unjust and the cells in prisons would be loaded with criminals and there would be no room for terrorist criminals leading to a world crisis.
ReplyDeleteJoseph, you make some good points, although I doubt that the jails will be that crowded just from plagiarizers!
DeletePlagiarism is when you copy someone's work and say it is yours.You can get sued or lose your college reputation.
ReplyDeleteI think plagirizing is bad because your stealling someones work and they might have put alot of effort into their work. Also you can also get in trouble if you dont site were you got the information.

DeleteSome ways you can avoid plagiarism is by quoting the author if you want to use the exact sentence or paraphrasing the sentence you want to use.

ReplyDeletePlagiarism is when someone makes a informational website with facts and someone else goes on the site. They copy and paste all of the info that was on the site and dont even put it in quotes or your own words. I think this is very inferior to the person who wrote the facts on the site, and to someone who is reading the plagiarized work. You are basically stealing the effort from other people.
ReplyDeleteGreat Samantha. I like how you added your thoughts about the topic as well as explaining what plagiarism is.

ReplyDeleteIf everyone plagiarized nobody would learn because every time they would do a study they would copy someone elses hypothesis.
ReplyDeleteSome ways you can prevent plagiarizing is by powerphrasing, citing websites, books, etc. You can also stop people from plagiarizing their own work.

ReplyDeleteHello 5th Graders...good comments for the most part. A few reminders:
ReplyDelete1. Please check your spelling BEFORE you post.
2. Try to go deeper. Most of you mentioned that you could get expelled or arrested for plagiarism, but only some of you mentioned that it is unfair to those whose words or ideas are being stolen. Keep that in mind for when you work on your research.
3. If you comment on someone else's post, please say WHY you agree or disagree.

Question Three
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think plagiarizing unethical? What would happen in a world where many people plagiarized?
Plagiarizing is wrong and should be stopped. If you wrote an amazing paper on an amanzing topic, then your friend copied your paper and gave you no credit, you would be devistated. If everyone in the world plagarized there would be no new information in the world. that is why stopping plagarizing is very inportant to the world.
You have a few spelling errors, but I totally agree with you. Stopping plagarizing is very important, the world would change if people stop!
Delete2.You can avoid plaigiarizing by researching the information you need on the internet or in a book then collect all the information and make it your own.
ReplyDelete#3. One way you can tell that a website is a reliable site is if the information tells about the topic
