Introduction
The paper contains the necessary information that sheds light on the issue of plagiarism (Keiser University, n.d.). The primary aspect seems apparent – plagiarism is when an individual tries to represent somebody’s thoughts, ideas, and words as their own.
Discussion
Before watching this piece, I was acquainted with the essentials of the concept and what inconveniences it implies to many modern spheres – especially scholarly ones. However, I did not know that taking someone’s idea (even not a fundamental one) from a particular source and providing it in a completely different formulation and context would be considered plagiarism as well. Nevertheless, after taking my time, I concluded that such an approach to detecting plagiarism is reasonable. It is crucial to protect and promote significant ideas concerning an author’s efforts and originality. Nowadays, this does not seem like a great problem to implement, given the advanced frameworks for referencing and citing. Among them, APA, MLA, Chicago, and Harvard styles can be mentioned.
Today’s world is driven by original ideas that diversify humanity’s being and serve as a foundation for its continuous development. Under such circumstances, originality may be considered an essential phenomenon that should be inherent to people. For me, Figure 1 reflects the main feature of originality – it represents something unique and different from ordinary things. The image of the bulb made me perceive originality as a light that illuminates our path toward a bright future.
Conclusion
However, the price is to be paid; original people differ from the rest and often experience loneliness and feel that they are misunderstood. In the picture, the lit bulb shines among many other ones that are doomed to exist in the darkness of ignorance.
