My Feelings on Plagiarism
Hello, everyone. Tonight I am going to share my feelings on plagiarism. Unfortunately, I have had experience with plagiarism from high school, when classmates would copy my work and pass it off as their own, to co-workers who took credit for my ideas. I believe that everyone deserves the recognition for their ideas and it is very wrong for people to take those ideas and pass them off as their own. One instance of plagiarism comes to mind when I recall how my supervisor at my previous job asked me for my input on a project and then proceeded to pass of my suggestions to her superior as her own. She received the credit for an idea that I came up with and I never felt the same way about her after that. I did take her supervisor aside and explain that the concept that she thought this person came up with was actually my idea and I eventually did get the credit for it but I never looked at that person the same way again. I hope she learned her lesson not to take advantage of her subordinates but I heard through the grapevine that she is no longer employed there....I wonder why!

Lisa,
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on your blog this week. I think you made some good points on plagirism and your personal experiences. I would be very upset if someone I worked with tried to take my ideas about something and take credit for it. This is the same idea of plagirism.
I feel the same as you that we should give credit to those who deserve and not try to take credit for others work. It is not fair and I do believe that karma will come back to those who do so. People don't understand the severity of it.
Have a good day,
