Greetings:

Hello everyone there!

• I hope you're doing well in your lives. May Almighty Allah bless us all with HIS countless blessings in this critical pandemic condition.❤️

Today I'm gonna talk about plagiarism and why there shouldn't be plagiarism. It's very necessary to know that why it shouldn't be here on steemit. Not only steemit but it shouldn't be on anywhere either. It's a really shameful act to do.

We must have some etiquettes of writing the content in which we will know that there shouldn't be any kind of plagiarism involvement in our writings

• Let's have a look that what content etiquettes are:

Content Etiquettes:

As this topic is about the content etiquettes so I'm going to elaborate it.

Morally it is weird and a disgusting act to steal someone's lines, ideas and their written content. It shouldn't be the part of your professionalism. If somehow we have to write the words written by someone else we should mention his/her name as the credit. So that the reader have the idea about the real author of the words. It is morally a good act and it is one of the best etiquette of the content.

• Now have a look that what is plagiarism?

Plagiarism:

I'm going to share my thinkings about plagiarism.

First of all we all have to understand that what plagiarism actually is.

Here's my own definition of plagiarism:
"Copying and stealing the ideas and written content of someone else without mentioning his/her name and without giving them a credit is known as plagiarism"

It is the most weird and disgusting act.

Let me explain it with an example then it will become understandable easily.🥰

Let's say you're the given an assignment to submit to your class teacher. If you will copy the stuff from the internet you should have mention the website name as source so that the teacher will know that from where you've got the idea. This will not be included in plagiarism. But if you steal some other student's assignment and copy word by word then you're welcome to the plagiarism family. You should have mention the real writer's name or that website name your copying the stuff from.

For example you've written few lines from internet and the website name is xyz.com the you should mention in the end like this:

Source: xyz.com

This is a decent and educated way to copy the stuff by mention the source.

Practical example:

Let me give you guys a practical example of it.

Look at my above picture. I took it from Pinterest and as this is not my own photography so I had to paste the link of the source of which the picture belong to.

I hope now you guys got the idea about plagiarism which I was trying to explain earlier.

Self plagiarism:

There's a kind of plagiarism known as "self plagiarism".

What is a self plagiarism?

Here's my idea about it:
"If you've written something few days ago or whatever and submitted it. After somedays you again asked to work and write on the same topic. If you'll copy your own previous lines without modifying them, this is actually known as self plagiarism"

It is also prohibited. You should modify even your own words while writing them once again.

I hope you guys got the clear idea about the plagiarism. Thanks for your time you've given for reading it. Don't forget to give it a support. Thank you all. 💗
