Plagiarism in Universities

Plagiarism article in New York Times


The article talks about how college students and kids all ages think it is ok to copy and paste information from the Internet, also known as plagiarize. In the article they give stories about kids who will take little parts of something and not cite it, like they are supposed to. Many universities are catching more and more kids everyday with plagiarism.

Plagiarism is a big problem in our society today. Many people still continue to do it, even though they know it is wrong. I think half the time people don’t even realize they are plagiarizing. Taking a definition from a dictionary online or just a dictionary and not siting it, is still plagiarizing, which is something I never knew. I always thought taking a definition wasn’t bad, because it’s the meaning of a word, and I thought everyone had a right to that. Plagiarism is getting many people in trouble nowadays and we have to do something to stop it.

Fort Myers Beach!




The facial expressions for the take off make it seem as if we were having the best time of our lives; however, a picture can sometimes be deceiving. I was having the best time of my life, but my friend was scared as soon as we got up in the air. This is on spring break 2011 and we decided we wanted to go parasailing. As I’m flying through the sky, the warm wind blowing through my hair, I was enjoying the view. When looking out all you could see was nothing but gulf and other parasails on one side, and beach and hotels on the other. This was when we became in love with Fort Myers Beach.
