Plagiarism

Nobody can tell you what to write - you must write what is in your own heart and mind. Copying what someone else has written leads to dull, boring writing that is not going to help you learn how to write better. It is also known as plagiarism, and if you publish the writing you copy, you can be sued.

When at school, students are being taught to think for themselves and how to work things out themselves so that they are equipped to solve problems in their adult working life. If a student does not do this working out and simply copies answers from other people then they are not learning properly.

As part of education students are tested on what they have learned and their ability to work things out for themselves - these tests tell others how intelligent and competent the students are and form the basis for employment prospects later in life. If a student cheats in this coursework assessment process by plagiarizing material from others (without referencing the source of this material) then the testing process becomes compromised and the results meaningless. This is a problem for teachers, examiners and employers. It is also unfair to the students who have not plagiarized and presented their own work.

There are good tools available to teachers and examiners to detect plagiarism when material is copied from the Internet.

Any written text that is correctly referenced either within the text or in the reference section.

It can only be an opinion on such a matter, and it is my opinion that all intellectual property is very overprotected. I presented an argument for this position in my first book, The One Thing (2000, by Humanics Publishing Group), in which I argued that ideas are merely products of language. If we consider that language is not owned by anyone, but is merely something that is used (by usually very large cultures), then it is difficult to justify any idea that is made of that language as being the exclusive property of the so-called maker. By analogy, it is similar to a child playing with blocks in a kindergarten classroom. Imagine the child somehow arriving at a unique arrangement of blocks, an arrangement that no one had ever noted before. Could this hypothetical child be justified in claiming some sort of copyright for the arrangement? This admittedly sounds a little absurd. But it is nonetheless valid. The first thing we would surely object to is the fact that the child does not own the blocks. They are the property of the school. The same thing, essentially, may be argued if we are talking about the copyright for a book. A book is basically a collection of words, arranged in a particular order, an order that we might also call unique. The author of course wants a copyright as a way of protecting his/her intellectual property, the fact that he/she happened to hit upon this particular arrangement of words. The problem with this is that they do not own the words. Language is bequeathed to us by the culture that we happen to be a part of. There is no such thing as a "personal" language. Language is an aspect of a social dynamic. The culture ultimately owns the unique word arrangement/collection that we call a book, because it was the language of that culture that made said arrangement/collection possible.
