Plagiarism

In publications class we recently learned alot about plagiarism.: I learned that plagiarism is another persons work and using it to make it look like they did it, but they had taking it from somebody else's work. I also found out that any ideas, pictures, words, or other actually stolen intellectual content taken from another source without giving credit, is plagiarism. Here are some examples: an idea or opinion, even when put into one's own words; a few well said words, if these are a unique insight, many words even if one changes most of them; materials assembled by others for instance, quotes or a bibliography; an argument; a pattern of ideas; graphs pictures or other illustrations; facts; all or part of an existing paper or other resource.

I think plagiarism is wrong, but I do this sometimes. Still, I think it's wrong because your taking somebody elses work that they did Thats my opinion.

Sometimes I think its okay to plagiarism because you would need some pictures that you would need or some other stuff.

I think you can get in alot of trouble if you plagiarize in college because my publications teacher said he got in to a lot of trouble when he was a student. This is what I mostly think plagiarism is about.
