Plagiarism (group work)

As a group, we consulted one another and each of us went on to read what we posted in our respective blogs. After reading the blog.

Yifu Chen did the research on the different definitions that we have listed in our presentation. He found the definitions that we used, one fromhttp://www.plagiarism.org/plag_article_what_is_plagiarism.html 9/11/12  another one from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism 9/11/12

Mohamed shared a very recent  case of plagiarism that was done by a famous journalist of CNN (Fareed Zakaria ) .He got his information from the New York Times website where there was an article wrote on this case . “A scandal Threatens Zakaria's Image as a Media Star" from the New York Times written by CHRISTINE HAUGNEY, August, 19, 2012.

Yang Qu shared his personal views on plagiarism in china and gave us an example from an associate professor in Tong Ji University. http://www.forbes.com/2010/05/26/china-cheating-innovation-markets-economy-plagiarism.html  9/11/12 . Yang Qu found during his research that the goal of college education is to teach students how to produce original thoughts and analyze ideas. Plagiarism adds nothing new and does not show that the student has learned nothing.http://www.ehow.com/facts_5972805_plagiarism-important - issue-college_.html 9/11/12

Yifu Chen and Mohamed worked together to find different ideas on how to avoid plagiarism. They did some research on Leo that helped them find some good examples on how to avoid plagiarism. As a group, we decided to list two different ways on how to avoid plagiarism.

The goal of our group was to bring awareness about plagiarism as we found it as a form of crime, but it is viewed differently in different parts of the world. In poor countries and some countries where laws are not enforced, it goes unpunished .While in developed countries, there’s a financial aspect that is linked to it. People found guilty of plagiarism in America and other western countries have to pay a fine and pay a monetary compensation to the one they stole the idea from.

In poor countries , there’s a high level  of illiteracy and people tend to worry more about how to find what to eat than paying attention to who has copied someone’s else idea .

We found the resources very helpful, as they helped us get some accurate information that we cross referenced with other information and had a better idea of what we were trying to achieve as a goal for our group.

During the research that we have conducted, we came across so many valuable data that we sometime didn’t know which one to use .We consulted one another and ended up choosing the one’s that better reflect the goal that we were trying to achieve.

I'm writing a research paper want to avoid plagiarism.

what is the plagiarism?

The plagiarism means copy another person's exact words or summarize someone else's ideas. If you write some paper have other people's ideas or paragraph that is plagiarism. Use anther person's present facts or charts it also plagiarism.

 If you think plagiarism is not important that is not true. 


because:1.If you plagiarism it has serious academic consequences.

              2.and plagiarism also break the law.

so how to avoid plagiarism or what things is not plagiarism?


              1.become informed.
If you said "I don't know I'm plagiarism someone"it is not established, you can found many information from the website 
 such as MLA or APA. put you own paper in this website you can found you are plagiarism or not.

               2.Don't take things left to the last minute
I think this is very important, sometimes you don't have enough time to finish your homework or paper, at this time you
think may be I can copy someones paper or just some paragraph. This is very dangerous because you will be plagiarism.
just thinking if you have enough time you can use your own words finish your work. do not think your professors can't 
found you not plagiarism, he can use internet found what things you copy it.

              3.Explain where is this source from
This is not plagiarism. of course you can use other people's sentence but you need use quotation marks mark this sentence and tell the reader who write this sentence and where is this from at last.

  I'm a collector and traveler, I like to travel in many countries to look for a different art, this time my goal in Asia and Africa.
  I think learn countries can learn from a lot of crafts, for example, I have a wooden ruler, this ruler came form China, the scale is a "CM", so I know the Chinese always use CM as the unit of measurement. My first stop is China. Chinese people are very friendly and sitting next to me on the train, he give me three very special food that is chestnut, Chinese called is "lizi", such as in the brown shell has a sweet fruit, I think is very   delicious. His body covered with a blanket, he tell me this  blanket has 200 years history, I'm very surprise. A long time ago, a friend sent me a seal. he tell me,the role of the seal and the signature is the same, I always take it with me, because this is a culture. I came to a small town, here the most easy to find something worth collecting things. I found one booth in the very narrow streets, there have two things attracted me, one thing is a jar, this jar looks very special. The owner told me this is Chinese pottery manufacturing the height of the production. another one is a wallet, but I think this wallet has already can't put money, because that is very beautiful, It beautiful pattern deeply attracted me. I decided to put the two are bought. The shopkeeper think I generous, so he want send me a his backyard model, that is very delicate. This year is the year of the dog, China's year are named after animals, so I left I bought some dog's commemorative COINS. This lie China travel from the beginning to the end let I benefit a lot.
  Next stop is Africa. The Africa is a mysterious place, they like to use sculpture record history. In an African old man's house I found a half-naked sculpture, the old man told me this sculpture recorded one of the oldest human civilization, at that time, human beings are the half. Fellow Indians took out his sculpture that is a man in the joy of drums, he told me this sculpture record their party scene. I am in the market to buy a head sculpture, this sculpture just a woman's head, although a little terror but her eyes are very beautiful. at last, the Indians friend give a boat model, This is the Indian characteristic of boat, I love it.
  Collect work of art  let me know more about other country's history and culture, I'm very enjoy it. This trip contact things are my beloved.
