Lets quickly look at the meaning of etiquette. Source

This entails guiding principles or rules or what must be considered in doing something devoid of copyright.

haven said that let's check for the meaning of plagiarism which is to copy someone's work without due process.

There are different types of plagiarism but I will focus on just four types;
Direct, Mosaic, self, Accidental plagiarism.

• DIRECT PLAGIARISM: This occurs when there is word to word copying without quoting the source.

• MOSAIC PLAGIARISM: It's when phrase or words or simple sentence is lifted from a source without a quotation mark to indicate that such are borrowed.

• SELF PLAGIARISM:
  When an individual didn't recognize contributors to his or her work and mixes it in another different work.

• ACCIDENTAL PLAGIARISM; It occurs when there's no citation in a work.

CAUSES OF PLAGIARISM

• Low self esteem (inferiority complex)
• Poor time management
• Procrastinating a task
• Fear of unknown
• Failure
• Lack of mastery about content matter

Let me quickly run down a check on the causes of plagiarism.

• LOW SELF ESTEEM
  This entails how an individual evaluates himself as incapable of doing a task.
  When one consider himself or herself inferior it retard such an individual with an option of copying another person's work.
  Believe in yourself that you can do it by yourself.

• POOR TIME MANAGEMENT: Many students and content writers have challenge in managing time. They easily get distracted with other things and makes it difficult to focus on a task and do it to the latter. When time is not properly managed, certainly plagiarism is inevitable.

• PROCRASTINATION: I call procrastination as a dangerous disease that eats up destiny.
  Most people fall victim of plagiarism due to inability to do the right thing at the right time thereby in a bit to meet up with dateline is just to copy and paste work.

• FEAR OF UNKNOWN: Lack of self confidence on your personal work opens the door for fear to crept in which allows one to just copy work in other to meet up the target. This has made a lot of students victims of plagiarism.

• FAILURE: Many people are afraid of failure therefore they preferred to lift directly a particular content.

• LACK OF MASTERY ABOUT CONTENT MATTER: Many people don't have a good knowledge about content yet they want to succeed, it's not possible. Individual can't give what they don't have. Therefore since nothing much upstairs, the only alternative is to go on with plagiarism

I really appreciate this platform for an opportunity to develop my self worth and become a good content writer without plagiarism.
