How Not To Plagiarize

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q0NlWcTq1Y&feature=player_detailpage

Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "purloining and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions," and the representation of them as one's own original work. The idea remains problematic with unclear definitions and unclear rules. The modern concept of plagiarism as immoral and originality as an ideal emerged in Europe only in the 18th century, particularly with the Romantic movement. Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics. It is subject to sanctions like expulsion. Plagiarism is not a crime but in academia and industry it is a serious ethical offense, and cases of plagiarism can constitute copyright infringement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism
Plagairism hurts the person who does it. Plagiarism is, in effect, stealing. You're stealing another person's thoughts, ideas, words, way of thinking about a subject and passing them off as your own. In addition, what are you learning by plagiarizing something? Nothing. So, once again the person doing it is hurting themselves. And, most schools (colleges and universities - know less than nothing about high school rules) will show you the door if you're caught plagiarising another person's work. What's more, even a community college will think twice about taking in someone after they've gotten the boot for plagiarism - and a community college will take just about anyone!! In short, the person who has plagiarized something has basically ruined his or her plans for a successful future since that will follow you around, no matter where you might be tempted to go.

CC and BCC Emails

“Cc” stands for “Carbon Copy” or sometimes “Courtesy Copy”. This is where the address of the second recipients or other people who are interested is put in. These are the people to who the e-mail isn't addressed to but they may still be interested in the what's in the mail. For example: if an employee e-mails another employee about a department matter, and feels that the department head should also know about the matter, so he CCs the e-mail to the head. “BCC” stands for “Blind Carbon Copy” or sometimes “Blind Courtesy Copy”. This is where the address of third recipients is put in. All the other recipients: first, second and third won’t be able to see the e-mail addresses in the BCC field. Hence, the fact that the e-mail is also sent to these people is concealed. The BCC field recipients are secretly being told about the communication, without others knowing. It is common to use the Bcc: field when addressing a very long list of recipients, or a list of recipients that should not necessarily know each other. For example: if an employee e-mails another employee about something inappropriate, the second employee can reply to the e-mail but keep the manager in BCC, so that the manager may be aware of the first employee indiscretion. For example, a department head is implementing a new policy in his department. He will e-mail the manager the details of the policy, while he can CC the employees in the department, so that they may also be aware of the policy. The department head may also BCC the heads of other departments, or the cooperative level executives, so that they may also be aware of the policy change. However, he may not want to share the e-mail addresses of the other heads with all the employees.
