My reaction of reading this two articles is that plagiarism is a very serious problem in American university. A physics professor created a computer program that can find out if university students are guilty of plagiarism, so the university students can not copy ideas from other people. Now I better be careful that the idea I use is acknowledged.
With the computer is coming more convent a cheating is more fast and more easy but it is very easy to catch too. So be really carefully when you are searching information that you want to use.
And the other one is about the government that report to the people about something is not good about Iraq and they say the information is from them self. But someone find out that the information is not from the government, they seems copy the magazines and academic journals. The person even find out that they have the same grammar and English problem in the magazines, this let the people in the UK very disappointed. This thing let me know even government can’t do plagiarism. Plagiarism is a thing that any where any time any place and any one should do in any reasons.
Why do people take other people’s idea’s and don’t give them created? The reason of this first is about lazy, people don’t want to waste time on finding who this idea is and who own this idea and they also don’t want to waste time to source it, the second reason is they don’t want to do the work if the work is to difficult and it takes a lot of time, so they will find something on the internet and copy it, but you can tell your teacher and boss this is not your own idea, so they just they say it is mine’s , this is the two big reason that why people don’t source who own this idea and just copy it.
