Good day wonderful steemians. My name is @smartpatrick. I have been waiting for this exciting moment to share my knowledge on what Content Etiquette and plagiarism really entails.
Before I proceed I will like to say a very huge thank you to the steemit community for verifying my achievement2 post which automatically qualified me for this achievement 3 post. Plagiarism is a common disease on the internet and I want to also thank steemit for creating a platform like this to help educate us it's consequences and how we can avoid it. plagiarism is some times refered to as academic theft.

Definition of Plagiarism

8SzwQc8j2KJZWBXFXnbnQ1FtoZhRqrTWozhqoqWHpGmpmoJaPRBSvKgbHGRs9Ly9AANcBVS1f4sWsL9YXtdF3pS72ms66ewgm7zp6sVCVPv577u4782.jpeg

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.

Plagiarism can simply be defined as the unauthorized use of someones work such as images, article, blog post, etc without properly referencing them. It's just like using someone's property without telling them or stealing their intellectual work without citing them.
Plagiarism and stealing are the same.

I so much enjoy steemit because of its measures of discipline. steemit will not tolerate any form of plagiarism. Infact as soon as it is noticed on the platform, the offender will be warned immediately. If he or she repeats the same thing again and again, he or she will be barn or suspended.

To avoid Plagiarism means not to involve yourself in anything that has to do with copying without referencing.
The best way for me is to do a deep research on anything you want to write about. let it be your personal conviction and not other people's one.

It also appears that sometimes we steemians commit what we call ACCIDENTAL PLAGIARISM

  • ACCIDENTAL PLAGIARISM:

Most times we humans reason in the same manner, you may be shocked to see your ideas in another person's work, and you may feel like the other person copied your work. Sometimes it happens this way and to avoid this you can check your post by using https://www.duplichecker.com/
This site will help you avoid accidental plagiarism and any form of plagiarism.

  1. It helps you build your level of competency, integrity and conviction.

Plagiarism is something we all should run away from because it make you underdevelop and crude. Anyone who involves himself in plagiarism is only deceiving and killing himself intellectually.
I will kindly advice steemians and most expecially the newbies to flee away from the idea of plagiarism. Steemit is a platform that can help you develop and build your portfolio. It's so amazing how this platform works with a whole lots of benefits. I mean think big and smart.
However, I want to use this opportunity to thank everyone who has guided me so far on Steemit.
My pledge:

"I have read and understood the Steemit Etiquette on Steemit Community and will do my best to embrace them"
