The effects Plagiarism have on kids
Plagiarism is a very serious thing in high and college these days because of computers and search engines. Today, you can find anything on the Internet with just a click of a button and that brings into the account that kids will do anything to get done a paper or an article in seconds. The rules are pretty cut and dry in most place because you cannot steal from anyone without providing them with the credit of writing it. Yet, the person who wrote that statement may have heard it from someone else and just simply posted it on the Internet as an information resource. Needless to say, kids are pressured to come up with facts and site them accordingly, but there are certain things where you may not even know you are plagiarizing. All and all, the guidelines have to be followed so give the credit to those that deserve it and the rest should come from you strictly because you are the one interpreting the situation.

I agree with you Zack when you say that plagiarism is dangerous in majority schools these days. The technology has expanded so much over the past years it is giving kids the idea they can take the information off the sites to use for there own.The guidelines do have to be followed because those who did come up with the ideas should be recognized.
Zach, I also agree with your thoughts on plagiarism. It is a real serious issue that a lot of students overlook and think that they won't ever get caught. We need more people to realize how severe it is so it won't happen anymore.
