My thoughts on plagiarism

After reading about plagiarism, I think we need to cite our sources so we can give credit to the author. I think if someone used something I created I would be very upset because I didn't get the credit for my work. I haven't really experienced any plagiarism issues yet and I'm not really sure exactly how it is handled. I know if you do it in school, you can get expelled. If you do it in your workplace, you can probably get sued. I think sites like you tube aren't legit and people plagiarise all the time because they add their own stuff without putting sources.

  1. I agree with you about being upset. If I found out that someone else used my work and did not give me credit it would be very upsetting. I mean your the one that did all the research and put the material together then they just took the easy way out and copied you, that would not be fair to you.
