and claiming the works as their own. Common cases are stealing of literary works from writers and authors. One of the example meanings taken from Merriam-Webster online dictionary,
plagiarism means "to use (another's production) without crediting the source".
Plagiarism is mainly active in the internet wherein amounts of literary works are stolen from numbers of authors. The main idea of Plagirism is to claim works as your own. An example is presented as a student is expected to write a book report about a book that his teacher assigned. The student doesn't want to read the book and is bored with the subject. He visits websites that provide reviews and book reports and he copies from each of the different book reports to create one report of his own.
Furthermore, it is stated in wikipedia that;
Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work.
Plagiarism is something that would make a person want to own something that is not even their own. Apparently plagiarism is found more in digital works and literary wherein the internet is present, it can be found. Plagiarism is found specifically in social media sites. Sites like facebook, twitter, instagram or any type where an individual can take images and post it without author reference.
Plagiarism is very flexible and anyone can get away with itif it is done right. But even so, Plagiarism should not be tolerated as it is unfair for the author who falls victims to these things.
