Achievement 3 by @stmostofakamal content etiquettes:-
##Hello friends this is @stmostofakamal. This is my first post on 3 content related to etiquette.
In this post I will tell you what is theft?
#So let's get to the start:
📢What is plagiarism?
##Basically there are many different definitions of theft in different dictionaries. Which I will present to you.
✔For example
##According to Google plagiarism, Plagiarism is the habit of accepting someone else's work or idea and carrying it on as one's own.

What is the origin of plagiarism?
The word comes from the Latin plagiarius, which means “kidnapper.”
The Roman poet Martial first used the word around a.d. 80 in the context of stealing another’s literary work. He claimed that another poet had “kidnapped his verses.” Back then, a poet was expected to memorize the great works of poetry and deliver them before audiences. Poets also made their money writing for others, and Martial’s complaint mostly centered on being deprived of his income. Originality was not valued the way we value it now.
Up until the 18th century, plagiarism in Europe was not considered fraudulent behavior. In fact, copying the masters was encouraged, and originality was rarely considered praiseworthy. It’s interesting to consider that very few people had access to original sources of art and literature to copy; for example, the Gutenberg printing press was invented in 1440.
The Age of Enlightenment changed all this. This era was marked by a move from feudal systems to a society based on individualism and liberty, with philosophers such as John Locke debating how to define property and the rights each has to own the fruits of their labor. The first copyright laws were enacted in the 1700s.
By 1797, a reference in The Monthly Magazine and British Register addresses plagiarism as we understand it today: “He found the … song … to be ‘a most flagrant plagiarism from Handel’.”
Modern-day plagiarism
Today, plagiarism is made easier by the simple cut-and-paste function on a computer and the enormity of the internet. Technology also makes it easier to catch instances of plagiarism. In the early 2000s, companies launched online services strictly for that purpose.
Some, like author Michael Foley, wonder if “the new interconnectivity” will create a more collaborative view of authorship due to the popularity of “social networks, urban tribes, friendship groups, festivals … and all kinds of group activity including group dancing, singing in choirs, team games and themed parties. With the fashion for communal tables and benches and sharing plates, the trend is apparent even in restaurants.”
##But to put it simply, stealing someone's work, ideas or thoughts and representing that, like me, is a bad habit of stealing.
##There is another class of people who believe that by giving credit to the real person, one can avoid the consequences of theft. However, there are other classes who say that it is not appropriate because any of them can steal the hard work of anyone and avoid the consequences with credit only for that work. So it is a bad habit.
##So it can be said that the definition of theft is also different from one's point of view.
📢#Types of plagiarism
##There are many types of theft which I will briefly discuss.
✔ Direct plagiarism
✔ Self plagiarism
✔ Mosaic plagiarism
✔ Accidental plagiarism
✔##Direct plagiarism: When someone directly steals a copy of a word from a subject and presents it as his work, it is called direct plagiarism.
At present it is very easy to check such theft. The reason is that there are plenty of theft checkers out there who can easily detect this type of theft, so this type of theft is usually not done by anyone.
✔##Self-association: Automatic theft is a form of theft in which one copies his or her previous work and presents that he or she has recently committed it. So this kind of theft is called self-association.
✔##Mosaic plagiarism: Mosaic plagiarism is another means of plagiarism. Anyone who copies someone else's work and just changes the wording of the phrase and uses synonyms of meaning and keeps the structure intact like titles and points intact. And by doing so, one thinks that theft can also be avoided from being detected by a checker.
✔##Accidental theft:
Basically when someone uses common language in a content and similar content is present somewhere on the web. Or accidentally identifies the wrong source for any content. It then falls under this category.
📢#What should we do to avoid theft?
##To avoid theft
All we have to do is make sure that what he has written is his main theme and also remember that he is taking inspiration from anywhere. So its owner has to give his credit. Then we can easily get out of it.
