This article is about how plagiarism is a capital intellectual crime. It tell us that the most plagiarism is done by students and professor and the least serious crime is done by those that earned the late Stephen Ambrose and Dorothy Kearns. Plagiarism is a big thing in schools today. Students think that by changing a few words here and there they will be okay, but when they have to send it in and the computer looks over it the paper comes back as plagiarized.The author supported their argument by telling us who was the most people that plagiarized and how they did it.
Yes the author argued his point well. The author talked about how plagiarism was used and where people used it most. The author tells one reason that plagiarism is punished heavily. One example he used was the West Side Story and how it related to Romeo and Juliet. I dont think he left anything out and i understood everything he was talking about.
I agree with the author Plagiarism is a really big deal and when I write paper I am also making use i cite my source or make it to were it is different enough to were it is not plagiarized.
the golden lined i liked would be "The most serious plagiarism are by students and professes, whose undetected plagiarism disrupt the system of students and scholarly evaluation. I like this line because it is a big deal and some of the people that do it the most are the one that are suppose to teach us how not to use it.
As I do like the idea of the computer looking the paper over and informing if it is plagarized or not, it still happens. One thing is that a computer cannot be trusted to do such a task without making an error or two. Another reason is that not very many places have that privilage so there's that. Also as the author said, as little to no harm it does, it goes by unnoticed and many people get away with it. With the internet these days it's so easy to plagarize something and get away with it, let alone cheat the system.
