Journal - What do you know about plagiarism? What do you know about plagiarism on the internet? How do web design, the internet and plagiarism all effect each other? Explain.

               Plagiarism is whenever you copy someones work without giving them credit. You can get in a lot of trouble for doing it. I know that if you get caught doing it you will get in a lot of trouble. You could get fined or even go to jail. I know that if you copy someones exact words it's plagiarism.   
                I know that on the internet a lot of people just copy and paste and don't give credit. An example being someone who doesn't get their summary for a book done, they could just copy it done off of the internet. It's really easy just to accidentally plagiarize with the internet too. You could just be researching something and find something interesting. If you copy the writers exact words, that's plagiarizing. Even if you change a couple of words in every sentence it's plagiarizing  You need to write something in your own words for it not to be considered plagiarism.    
               Web design, the internet, and plagiarism all effect each other because on the internet someone designs a web page that has amazing writing, and someone could plagiarizer it. If I were to design a webpage that has my daily life on it and someone was making a journal for school, they could easily steal my work without giving me credit because that's how the internet works. Now, teachers have programs where they can check if you plagiarized something so someone can't get away with it.
