Achievement 3 by @forthelove15 Task : Content Etiquette

Hello everyone,
So far I have completed achievement 1 and 2. Am currently working on achievement 3.From the little I have learnt so far, steemit is based on proof of brain concept and what this basically means is that, anything you do here should be your own and therefore you must be the owner. So you will be rewarded by sharing your knowledge and ideas.
This stage actually focuses on content etiquette /plagiarism. Let's get started .

First of all, I will begin by answering what plagiarism is.
what is plagiarism?
In my own understanding, I would say , plagiarism is basically stealing someone else's work or using someone's work without referencing the owner.

" Plagiarism is the representation of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work.." ^Source

Plagiarized content is the content which is stolen from someone without acknowledging or referencing the owner. Plagiarism can be in the form of pictures, lines, videos, articles, or even a few lines. Therefore be original.

I would like to talk briefly about the types of plagiarism .
Types of plagiarism

1.Copying words or ideas from someone else without giving them credit.
2.Using portions of text from a single source without using quotes and citation.
3.Failing to put direct quote in quotation marks.
4.Paraphasing from multiple sources and making the text fit together.
5.Submitting someone else's work, words or ideas as your own.
6.Combining thoroughly cited sources with an uncited portion of copied text without giving credit.
7.submitting a work with proper citation but virtually with no original content.
8.Changing someone's work , but copying the sentence structure of the source material without giving credit.

Is plagiarism a bad practice?
Achievement 3 actually thought me a lot and I can boldly say that I know about plagiarism and I can explain it to others and also practice it . From the little education I have had, I have come to realize that making someone's work your own is bad and therefore we should desist from it. Proper citation should be made when using someone else's work.

"In the academic world, plagiarism by students is usually considered a very serious offense that can result in punishments such as a failing grade on the particular assignment, the entire course, or even being expelled from the institution. The seriousness with which academic institutions address student plagiarism may be tempered by a recognition that students may not fully understand what plagiarism is. A 2015 study showed that students who were new to university study did not have a good understanding of even the basic requirements of how to attribute sources in written academic work, yet students were very confident that they understood what referencing and plagiarism are. The same students also had a lenient view of how plagiarism should be penalized.
For cases of repeated plagiarism, or for cases in which a student commits severe plagiarism (e.g., purchasing an assignment), suspension or expulsion may occur. There has been historic concern about inconsistencies in penalties administered for university student plagiarism, and a plagiarism tariff was devised in 2008 for UK higher education institutions in an attempt to encourage some standardization of approaches.
However, to impose sanctions, plagiarism needs to be detected. Strategies faculty members use to detect plagiarism include carefully reading students work and making note of inconsistencies in student writing, citation errors and providing plagiarism prevention education to students. It has been found that a significant share of (university) teachers do not use detection methods such as using text-matching software. A few more try to detect plagiarism by reading term-papers specifically for plagiarism, while the latter method might be not very effective in detecting plagiarism – especially when plagiarism from unfamiliar sources needs to be detected. There are checklists of tactics to prevent student plagiarism." ^Source

I would edge my colleagues who are yet to do this task to take their time and understand every bit of this stage well. Thank you.
