Question 1

Discussion about plagiarism

Plagiarism is an offence committed when someone unlawfully and intentionally takes
ownership of someone else‟s novelty without acknowledging the origin of the source.
That includes copying of another person's ideas, text or other creative work, and
presenting it as one's own, especially without permission. For example, when a
student copies another student‟s work and submits it as his/her own.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines plagiarism as the “action or practice of
plagiarising; the wrongful appropriations or purloining, and publication as one‟s own,
of the ideas, or expression of the ideas … of another”.
Plagiarism arises where a researcher fails or omits to indicate clearly, for example

It occurs in cases where statute, case law, book, article, or electronic text is
paraphrased without acknowledging the source or sources and the author thereof.2

other sources have been used without being referenced or pretend to own such
context is tantamount to a cheating.
