Dear Readers,
Today
you’ll learn all my thoughts about plagiarism. But, before we begin, let me
tell you what really is plagiarism and The Intellectual Property Code of the
Philippines. [1] According to the Meriam-Webster Online Dictionary
to “plagiarize” to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's
own or to use (another's production) without crediting the source, It involves
both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward. In other words,
plagiarism is an act of fraud. If you guys don’t already know we have a law
against plagiarism here in the Philippine, it’s called the Republic Act No. 8293
or the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines, you might want to check
it out if you want to know more about it. I know each and every one of us has
plagiarized something at one point, I mean come on guys, copy – pasting??? Total
plagiarism. Don’t even try to defend yourself. I know you’ve done it, so don’t
even. I’ve certainly done it, not proud of it just laying down the facts here.
Students are more susceptible to plagiarizing, especially with the essays that
are due to their professors/ teachers whatever you want call them tomorrow.
Procrastination lead to plagiarism, so try and avoid it, although,
procrastination doesn’t always plagiarizing but whatever right? SO anyway, my
thoughts! I really do think that plagiarism is very wrong, it has happened to
me and I really didn’t like the fact that somebody else took credit for my work
(I had to make an effort you know! I am a really lazy person so me making an
effort is a big thing) the nerve of that person right! Pisses me every time I
think about it. Anyway, let me give you a tip, if you ever end up copy –
pasting somebody else’s work into you work, do give them due credit, paste the
link where you got it from or whatever and just give them credit. Because that
my friends is not plagiarism.
Aight.
Toodle loo my dear readers. Also please pardon my poor excuse of a blog. I have
recently had an odontechonomy and the pain is currently clouding my mind, so
yeah. Bye.
