plagiarism
Writing something "in your own words" means not copying what somebody else has written, but thinking of how you would explain the information. The way to write in a natural style - "in your own words" - is to pretend that you are telling whatever information you have to convey to a friend instead of writing it down. Don't think about writing, just talk to someone - then, write down the way you said it out loud, and it will be in your own words.
Yes, as soon as you create the writing, common copyright laws apply in the US. (Other countries' laws may be different.) You own the words, arrangement, structure, and ideas you personally created. If you quote someone else, that person owns their words, but you own how you used their words in a new writing.
When you are telling someone's ideas in your own words, you are paraphrasing.
To restate in ones own words the written work of someone else is to paraphrase.

plagerism
The suffix -ism does not specifically refer to this concept. The term "plagiarism" is used to describe the act of using someone else's words or ideas as your own without giving proper credit.
When you write someone else's words as your own you are plagiarizing. Just like citing work, you should use quotation marks to give them credit.
If you simply use someone else's material, it is plagairism. Plagairism is illegal. In addition, simply copying someone's writing robs you from learning how to express yourself in your own words.

When paraphrasing, you should reword the original text in your own words while retaining the original meaning. Be sure to give credit to the original source by citing it properly. Avoid simply rearranging words or replacing them with synonyms; instead, focus on capturing the essence of the text in a new way.
summarize
If you give credit in your own writing, it's not plagiarism. I assume you really mean someone else's IDEAS, not IDEALS.
