4. • Plagiarism is taking full credit of work that is not your own.
Plagiarism cheating in a way. It makes people think that you
have written or thought of something that really you have
just stolen from someone else. Plagiarism is stealing in a way.
Plagiarism also has its consequences, for it is an act of felony
and is against the laws and rules of professional ethics. Some
people plagiarize without even meaning to. There are ways to
avoid plagiarism and these steps should be heeded carefully.

5.  Word for word plagiarism has its definition in its
name. It is taking the work of someone else,
copying it exactly how it is, and taking all the
credit. Everyone knows when they are committing
this heinous act. It is copying and pasting. This
is very wrong and should never be done.

6.  This is the very plagiarism that is very common
because most people do not even know they are
doing it. This is when one puts work into their
own words but does not cite where they got their
information from. All sources must be cited for
work not to be plagiarized or copyrighted!

7.  Plagiarism is easy to find and even more easy to avoid.
There are simple ways to avoid plagiarism including the
following:
 If you wish to use someone else’s ideas , thoughts,
or information , you must put the words you wish to
copy in “quotation marks.”
 At the end of the sentence with quotation marks,
cite where you got the information in (parentheses)
and in a reference page.

8. In the reference page cite the
title of the page, the author, and
the year published if needed.
 Do not use copyrighted work or
pictures in your work, because it is
also wrong.

9.  Copyrighted work is work that is being used without the
original owner’s permission. Copyrighting is just as bad
as plagiarism. This is just like cheating as well. One
should not copyright nor use copyrighted information as
their own. It can be hard to find information and
pictures that are not copyrighted, but still one should
always try, because copyrighting is wrong.

10.  In conclusion:
 Netiquette is etiquette online. Proper netiquette should always be
used while on the computer. There are basic rules in netiquette such
as Don’t type in all caps, Be brief and universal, and always be kind
to newcomers and to others.
 Plagiarism is taking the full credit of work that is not your own. It
is just like cheating and should always be avoided. There are two
types of plagiarism; Word-for-Word and Paraphrased. Plagiarism can
be avoided in simple ways and should be avoided.
 Copyrighted work is work that is being used without the original
owner’s permission. This also should always be avoided.
