SUMMARY:
Plagiarism is the misuse or theft of words, thoughts, ideas, and
expressions of the other and presenting them as yours. Sometimes, some see the
phenomenon of plagiarism as a violation of copyright, but these two concepts
differ in two main principles: one, while copyright law protects the form of
expression and not the idea itself, the execution of plagiarism means the use
of the idea even when the form of expression is different. Second, the validity
of the copyright expires 70 years after the death of the creator, but copying a
work and presenting it on your behalf will never be considered a plagiarism.1
Plagiarism is common in a variety of creative fields such as
music, theater, literature, journalism and academia.
There are cases in which plagiarism is unconscious, in people
suffering from cryptomnesia, a memory disorder that makes it difficult for
those who suffer to distinguish between things they themselves have thought of
and what they have read or heard.2 So, some people struggles from the
hard works. All you have to do to avoid the plagiarism is, to use your own
words, and you have to use the in-text citations when you writing the phrases
from another author’s books but you have to write it in your own words.
The word plagiarism derived from the Latin word “plagiarius” which
means to you “kidnapper” the one who abducts the child.3
REFLECTION:
My opinion about plagiarism is that it's a huge crime and no one
has the rights to plagiarize, because
plagiarism counts as stealing other people's hard work and effort that yourself
have not worked for.
Even if the copyright expires 70 years after the creator's death,
it's still illegal to plagiarize their works.
