ACHIEVEMENT 3: Plagiarism and content protection by @emmanuel59
Firstly I want to extend my best wishes and greetings for the steemit users.I am overwhelmed by the support and guidance I am receiving from steemit community and its users.
Let me first tell you what plagiarism actually means and how it effects our thought process and hinders thinking development.
Pilagrisim in simple words can be referred to copying or sharing someone else's work without seeking their permission to do so.
As quoted by Teddi Fishman plagiarism consists of five elements :
• Use of someone's else words,work,or products.
• Not attributed to the original content maker.
• Not mentioning the source from where the work or words were obtained.
• In a situation where there is fear of being treated differently by the law bodies for claiming false authorship.
• In order to make some name and money for himself.
The above mentioned data has been taken from the below mentioned Wikipedia site for presenting more beneficial information about plagiarism to the steemit community and its users.
Source
The source of plagiarism can be many for example one can cut ,copy any information,data from any social , learning or educational website and paste that particular data, information for his own use without the actual owner having any information about this.
There are very high chances that the said person can now present the cut copied data or information as his/her own in order to get name or fame for him/her self in the community.
I believe that one should stay away from plagiarism especially on a platform like steemit which rewards budding content makers on the basis of their content.Plagiarism not only restricts the thinking or writing skills of an individual but it also impacts the other skills of an individual.We might take appreciation or rewards for someone's else content or work but that appreciation and those rewards are never ever gonna satisfy us.
