Yesterday my friends and I went to the library. We did a lot of assignments together. When I saw my friends, she looked very confused about her assignments. Then, I asked my friends "what's wrong with you?" She answered, "I am confused with my assignment because my assignment is difficult and I don't believe with my idea".Â
The actually it's very good, but she didn't confident with her idea because her idea was very complicated. Then, she deleted all of her sentences because she found other interests on the internet.Â
I was afraid she will copy and paste directly from the internet without changing it. In addition, that activity called plagiarism. However, there are many things that cause people to do plagiarize.
First, many student's misuses of technology in education. By using the internet, the student can find whatever they want including their schoolwork. They just copy and paste the text on the internet without changing or prior to editing it. This is a common thing that students do in education. In addition, many students think that in this era we have the internet so we don't need to read a book or thing hard because everything is already on the internet. However, it's the wrong thing. You should try to make work by yourself because it will make you more proud.
Second, many student's lazinesses in writing and researching new topics. The student becomes bored or lazy because they are always faced with tasks that accumulated and deadline are almost the same. This is, of course, makes students less than optimal at their assignment because they are already tired. That's why many students do plagiarize. Sometimes, many students do plagiarism not only copy and paste on the internet but also plagiarism from work friends. In addition, this is a common thing that many students do.Â
Next, many students didn't confidence in their expressing a new idea. Not confidence is also something that underlies someone to do plagiarism. However, we do not know the idea that made is good or not, but most of them are not confident to express it. Â It doesn't hurt if you put your idea first before you do plagiarism. Maybe your idea is better than your plagiarism on the internet.Â
In conclusion, plagiarism is strictly abandoned, morally, and ethically wrong. It's not only those who plagiarize will be affected but also the writers and also publishers. This simply means that many parties are also affected, not only the plagiarizers. However, if you plagiarize, better you stop it now.
