Achievement 3 by @Mondraye. Task: Content Etiquette

STEEMIT is an accessible program that gives users the opportunity to earn from contents produced from the brains by rewarding each posts with an undetermined amount of STEEM dollars. That said, it is therefore wrong for a user to gain reward on contents not of their own creation but of others without providing a reference to the place/post where the content was gotten from originally. This is seen as a crime called "plagiarism" and this is highly frown upon by the STEEMIT organization.

WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?
Plagiarism simply is the taking of a person's work and passing it off as your own, thereby gaining credit without necessarily acknowledging the person the work was gotten from originally.

TYPES OF PLAGIARISM
Honestly there are lots of different types of plagiarism but below are the most common types:

1. Direct plagiarism: Word for word duplication of a person's work
2. Self plagiarism: Repetition of self previous work without necessarily seeking permission.
3. Accidental plagiarism: Unintentional omission of citations
4. Mosaic: Also known as patch-writing. copy and paste of a phrase or a sentence in a person's without necessarily citing said person.

How do you prevent plagiarism?
Plagiarism can be prevented or rather avoided through the following ways

1. Create your own ideas
2. Paraphrasing
3. Citations
4. Making use of a plagiarism checker
