Hello steemians,

I want to say a big thank you for this task, hello @oppongk, @cryptokanno and @njaywan.

How would you feel if someone steals the work you put so much effort to creating? You wouldn’t want that and I would advise “you do unto others what you want them to do unto you”.

Plagiarism is simply the act of stealing, modifying someone else’s work without giving the person any credit and making it look as though it were your work. Every organization or group has its rules and as such must be followed. Here on steemit you’re advised to not indulge in any form of plagiarism and must always come clean with your work, it shows how creative you are. Plagiarism comes with a lot disadvantages;

It can destroy your reputation.

You may lose your job.

You could be imprisoned.

You could be fined etc.

It is advisable you cite or source a person’s work if you find it intriguing and wish to add it to yours. E.g

“I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.” “I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.” source

Types of plagiarism include;

1 .Direct plagiarism, this refers to the word to word copying of a section of someone’s work without quotation.

2 .Self plagiarism, simply submitting your own work in different situations.

3 .Mosaic plagiarism, using synonyms to replace word of the original work and dubbing as one’s work.

4 .Accidental plagiarism, when you unintentionally paraphrase someone else’s work without acknowledgement of the writer

"I have read and understood the Steemit Etiquette on Steemit Community and will do my best to embrace them".

Thank you.
