Plagiarizing is always happening. Even in colleges all over the country. Many students do not even understand how awful stealing words from other people are. One Liberian states “Because you’re not walking into a library, you’re not physically holding the article, which takes you closer to ‘this doesn’t belong to me,’ ” and also she says while talking about things you could find online, “everything can belong to you really easily” (Plagiarism Lines). Students can access information about any topic much more easily now that everything is online, so copy and paste is always an easy way out of working.
I completely believe that plagiarizing is easy and it happens all the time. Also, in the article it said that many people stealing movies and music online. This is entirely true as well. We can steal information such as movies, music, and other people’s words extremely easily and not feel bad at all. For example, many of us were taught not to go into a store and steal their merchandise. Copy and pasting isn’t really stealing a physical item so many people don’t feel as bad for plagiarizing.
