Comparing Plagiarism In Repent Harlequin And In Time
People conduct research and analyze ideas from the past to come up with new ideas or adaptations. These past ideas help us to learn and improve from our mistakes as well as incorporate new concepts to use in the future. When an idea is copied, and repeated without the recognition of the creator it becomes plagiarism. Similarities and differences help us to understand what are considered plagiarism or an original idea.

    'The Seemingly Persistent Rise Of Plagiarism' By Patricia Cohen

    Both students and academic institutions are to be blamed when it comes to plagiarism just like the article “Thinking Cap: The Seemingly Persistent Rise of Plagiarism” BY Patricia Cohen explained that at times students would plagiarize unintentionally but at the same time we have the students who either don't understand the topic and find it easy to copy some article off a website without giving the correct citations. Not only that but there are students who are lazy and just decided that they just want to copy an article believing that they might not get caught, but we also have the academic institutions to blame at times they don't teach students the proper way to cite when writing or at times if they do see it they don't talk to the students…

    Plagiarism In Shattered Glass

    The film, Shattered Glass, is truly a cautionary tale capturing the horrific predicaments of a journalist’s decision to unrightfully delve into fiction. Due to his hunger for glory, Steven Glass, a well-liked writer and editor at The New Republic, continually manipulates the system by orchestrating fake phone numbers, web sites, and contact names; however, in 1998, one of Glass’s recently released editorials prompts an investigation by a local team of journalists which leads to Glass’s downfall. As the pressure for the truth increasing lurks around Glass, he consistently strives to lie to his new boss, Charles Lane. Although Glass’s fellow employees instinctively believe him, Lane finally discovers the truth and is forced to fire Glass. In end, Stephen Glass reportedly fabricated numerous other articles. Why did Glass do what he did? The previous question remains a mystery, but the integrity of journalism was definitely compromised by Glass’s actions; moreover, critics question if Glass’s methodology should be considered plagiarism and if Glass deserved his strict punishment.…

This rapport that initially was considered one of trust and teamwork, becomes one of hunter/prey, where he and the students become opponents, no longer working towards a common goal. Murphy reveals his emotional struggle when faced with a suspicion, due to the difficulty involved in assessing its accuracy.…

    Plagiarism In Psychology

    The ethical dilemma reported in this example relates to the proprietary rights of professionally written material in that an expert in a specialty area of psychology was entrusted to review and assess a manuscript written by a newer psychologist. Along with providing the new practitioner with very critical and somewhat disparaging feedback on the piece, the expert also recommended not submit the manuscript for publishing as well. Almost a year later, however, the newer psychologist ran across an article in publishing that was reportedly written by the expert, although a large portion of the writing had clearly been plagiarized from the exact same manuscript the expert reviewed so harshly (Koocher & Keith-Spiegel, 2016). Not surprisingly, the conduct of the expert in this case example discernably violates a number of standards of the APA (2010) Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct.…
