WHAT IS PLAGIARISM
To my own understanding, plagiarism is the act of taking what doesn't belong to you without permission.

And when we narrow it back to steemit, plagiarism is the act of copying someone's write-up or photo without referring to the source.

TYPES OF PLAGIARISM
We have many types of plagiarism, but I will 3 type.

• SELF PLAGIARISM
  Self plagiarism is the act of submitting your own work wether intensional or not, in different office or table in other to get different reward.
  Bringing it back to our steemit community, plagiarism is the act of making a post in a community and copying it to another community in other to get more earnings.
  When I was a newbei in Steemit few months ago, I fell into this mistake. By making post in the @danceandmusic community and after some hours I now copy the same post and posted it in the @steemalive community. After some time, they now tag the post Plagiarism then I did not know what it means so I needed to call my boss and he explained it to me, so I deleted it from the community.

• DIRECT PLAGIARISM
  
  Source
  This is the act whereby the plagiarist copy a work or an idea that belongs to another Author "COPY AND PASTE" without quotation mark and without including the source.

• PARAPHRASING PLAGIARISM

Paraphrasing, or incremental plagiarism, is the most common type of plagiarism. It’s similar to the mosaic plagiarism style mentioned above. However, the difference is that the copied work isn’t mixed in with new concepts and research. When you paraphrase the original idea in your own words, the borrowed material stays the same throughout the new piece.

   And it can also make the original Author of that work to be expelled also, because that when the school Authority see the two work or examination script that they are the same, he can just decides to punish the bot of you.

4. In the music world where I belong to, Plagiarism is Singing a song that belongs to another musician and publishing it as your own without writing to the original composer of the song to take approval.
   And it can lead you to paying of fin and take you to court.

2. We can avoid plagiarism in our steemit communities by using our "Brain work" as my boss @focunow thought us is one of the class we had in INSTAGRAM and by indicate the source of each copied work.
