Hello great minds, it’s another beautiful evening here and I believe y’all have had and having a wonderful new week day already.

Today I’m giving answers to my achievement 3 questions “CONTENT ETIQUETTE” and it’s my privilege to read through the contents etiquette of this platform before giving my answers here

MEANING OF PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is the representation of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work. In educational contexts, there are differing definitions of plagiarism depending on the institution. Plagiarism is considered a violation of academic integrity and a breach of journalistic ethics.link

UNPROFESSIONALISM OF PLAGIARISM

Though talk of plagiarizing consequences is often focused on the academic world, it has serious repercussions in the professional world as well. Any time you use the words, phrases, images or written ideas of another and present them as your own, it is considered plagiarism, and depending on the circumstances and severity, can be an actionable offense.
