Good day steemians. My greetings once again goes to everyone on this wonderful platform. I completed my achievement 2 some days ago and I was very happy when it was verified yesterday.

What is plagiarism

Plagiarism can be defined as making a replica of another person's ideaor creativity, and presenting it as your own without the owner's permission. It is a very bad habit because it kills the brain of those involved. People who partake in plagiarism will not be able to create ideas on their own. It is a very dishonest act.
Plagiarism is a very bad thing to do, not only on STEEMIT, but in all aspects of life. For example, a college student caught with such act will definitely be rusticated.

Types of plagiarism

There are different types of plagiarism, but the common ones include:

1. Direct plagiarism
2. Self plagiarism
3. Mosaic plagiarism
4. Accidental plagiarism

Direct plagiarism

This is when a person forges another person's work, the same way he/she wrote it. Back in my school days, my teacher would call it "copy and paste" because the same thing copied is what was written down. It is a very unethical habit. It is also a foolish and risky act to involve in. People caught in such act are made to face disciplinary punishment.

Self plagiarism

This is when a person submits or present the same thing he/she had submitted on another occasion. For example, if I wrote a composition about my dog in high school and I still submit the same book in college, It is self plagiarism. I also call it self copying. It is also unethical because those involved will not be able to think of fresh ideas.

Mosaic plagiarism

This is when a person copies a phrase, clause, or sentence from a source and writes it in his or her own work without adding quotation marks. This is also a bad thing to do.

Accidental plagiarism

It occurs when a person misquotes or misinterpretes an author's view without citing sources or change their source's word by using a similar word or sentence as the original. This type of plagiarism attracts the same punishment as other types mentioned earlier.

** What is citation**

Citation can be defined as a reference to a source. The source can either be a movie, a book, or the internet. It is sometimes called quotations.

I am very sorry to have plagiarized earlier, I will not repeat itself again, I promise. My appreciation goes to @wilmer1988 and @cryptokannon for putting me back on track. And also to @afunkycares for introducing me to steemit. Much love.
