Can information be stolen?!


Plagiarism is the process to steal someone’s information and ideas. This can be done by taking the information as it is presented on the online sites, from the books and other knowledge and information resources even by writing what others said orally in front of our auditory ears.
Plagiarism is the most dangerous action done by people and it is more severe than stealing the materialistic things. This plagiarism is appearing to increase in schools and universities as the result of unawareness of school teachers to teach their students the ways to avoid such behavior, the severe consequences resulting from plagiarism and the reason behind preventing students from the copy-paste process.
So as teachers we have to start the new journey, a new beginning, in the way to teach the students the effective and correct way to use both; the offline and online resources. This way we can make our students reach the university with a lot of experience in doing correct and effective researches and surveys as well as creating their own online blogs and social media with personal and creative posts and writings.
I found it essential to post about plagiarism since I am one of the people who was affected negatively and poorly graded due to plagiarism without even noticing the severe consequences before that experience. This behavior by me was done due to the lack of information I have on this kind of stealing and for sure it is the fault of my school teachers who did not inform me about this topic as should be.
