What is Plagiarism?
According to the Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries, plagiarism is “the practice of copying another person's ideas, words, or work and pretending that they are your own.”Source
This is a simple definition that anyone can understand and yet, a lot of people ignore its dip meaning, because most of the time is easier to do the opposite. Plagiarism is not considered a crime per se but it is illegal and has consequences. Even though it has consequences, it should be good enough for us to not plagiarize because is just the right thing to do.
What is plagiarism for me? Is a violation of integrity.
In this copy/pasted-driven society, we should always try to stand out as integral humans. Our code of ethics should always thrive upon the laziness that sometimes consumes us. It is not ok to steal, yes steal other person’s ideas, and it is even worst to do it without feeling an inch of shame.
Now, let's talk about another kind of plagiarism that is less well-known but just as important, self-plagiarism. “Self-plagiarism happens when you reuse your specific wording and ideas from work that you have previously submitted.” Source
I am a blogger, I have a blog called Destination UAE, where I write content about the United Arab Emirates and other nearby destinations. It would be easy for me to copy my previous work from my blog and post it on the Steemit platform but right there I would be committing self-plagiarism. Even though it is a work that I 100% created, was designed for a different platform and previously published.
Is important that everything we post on Steemit is created exclusively for Steemit
