Plagiarism

In my opinion on why the primary students nowadays have mostly sorted to plagiarism is because the studies are getting tougher. But that doesn’t mean that the students can continue their plagiarism as they see fit as it will not benefit their life in the future.


Some of the other reasons for students to commit plagiarism is that they lack the motivation to study, as life nowadays has been made easier to live in. The students of today probably think that studies are unimportant and that they would rather go to the mall, play video games or just hang out with their friends. They think that the life they have now is enough and that their parents can provide for them, thus not wanting to achieve much of anything by themselves.


The other reason is the availability of various kind of information that can be found on the internet. Almost anything can be found on the internet, from biographies of movie stars, purchasing handphone and even buying school essay answers. All of this is made available to anyone who has the right price and the knowledge of how to find them. For example just this year there was a case of a student who was caught paying someone over the internet to complete an essay for him.


We should also prevent the young students from committing plagiarism so that would less likely think of breaking other rules as well. If the students who committed the plagiarism are permitted to do as they wish and not reprimanded for it they will become bold enough to do other bad things. It is also to build their character and to make them be a moral and good person, instead of a person who would like to do things the easy way and not think of the consequences of what they are doing.


As for the adults, to some of them the world now are moving and developing rapidly and “viciously” that is why these people were daring and were forced to choose plagiarism as it is getting tougher and more difficult to live and survive in this world. My own assumption is that they might actually want to create or come up with their own new ideas through other people’s works.


Conclusion: Actually and honestly....... it’s individual responsibilities to handle this problem. We have to have the intelligence and the alertness in us not to become the victim of plagiarism nor the person who plagiarised other people’s works.
