Internet Plagiarism


In the article “The Wrongs of Internet Plagiarism: The Quick Arguments” by Brook Sadler, she explains how plagiarism is such a negative thing. She explains how it can affect the people in school like your professors and classmates. Whereas, Russel Hunt the author of “ Four Reasons to Be Happy about Internet Plagiarism,” talks about the benefits/good affects of plagiarism.  Hunter states that by having plagiarism, it will bring awareness.  With awareness we will all be aware and when we are aware we can work against the flaws and see the benefits. Though both authors bring up good points and show a different side on plagiarism, I would have to say that I agree with Hunt’s argument. When reading his argument, he is able to make more sense with his argument and back it up with valid reasoning. He shows that knowing what plagiarism is will help us students develop awareness of it.
