Why is attribution of works important?
People attribute sources to acknowledge the inventions and ideas of others and to adhere to copyright
law and avoid plagiarism. Plus follow professional standards of ethical behavior in the workplace also to
allow readers to access their source(s), which they might want to do in order. To more fully assess the
source’s credibility and identify the status of the conversation on the topic.
How would you define plagiarism?
To steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own : use (another’s production) without
crediting the source.
How is it different from sharing someone else’s post, word for word, on social media?
When you “Share” someone else’s post your share is merely pointing to that other person’s post. But
when you “Copy and Paste” you create your own original post that’s completely separate and
independent from the post you copied the text from.
Has anyone plagiarized your work? How did you react?
Im not really sure if anyone has or not but I wouldn’t be so happy if they did because I put in the hard
work and not them so why should they get the mention on something good when they did not do the
work.
