Why Plagiarism Is Wrong And How To Avoid It

Since last few months, I was coming across the term 'Plagiarism' quite frequently. Recently had a look at some good articles on steemit and some other sites to learn in depth about the subject.

One interesting post i found on the net is
Sampling, Borrowing, Homage, and Plagiarism (Writing Essentials) ,
which i found quite informative on the subject.
One beautiful quote from it is:

The Internet has made it infinitely easier to discover information, but that doesn’t mean that everything you find on the Internet is yours for the taking.

^{source: Sampling, Borrowing, Homage, and Plagiarism (Writing Essentials)}


The article describes details of writing essentials required by a writer and covers why and what mistakes are done and also how you can avoid doing them.
The conclusion of the article is although Internet is meant to share the information available there, but there are methods to follow. I feel a writer should have awareness of all these procedures in order to improve the quality of his work.

Many people knowingly or unknowingly use some contents or pictures through search engines, which while reading the blog are projected as his own work. I feel this can be avoided by following some rules and procedures. I call upon steemian friends to go through the subject of Plagiarism in order to imrove our contents thereby uplifting our community standards. Steemit is, in my personal opinion, is a life changing platform for many among us. And we all should feel proud being a steemian.

Thanks for reading and visiting here,
Hope you find the article useful.
