Why is plagerism wrong??
493485
The general rule is: it's plagerism if you take credit for someone else's work.  It's stealing their words.\n\nI believe the penalty is usually a failing grade on the paper you turn.  If the paper is weighted enough you could fail the course.  I guess a school could take it to the next level and suspend you or the law could fine you.\n\nIt's easy to use someone else's words - just put " " around the text and site you source.

Yes, I would count it as incorrect because it's not correct!

That's human nature. We never want to be wrong so we always spin things to fit our preconceived notions instead of looking at something objectively. \n\nI am including Theists and Atheists in this as well

That is correct.  The way is narrow. There are many many many wrong choices that will be made.\n\n\nGood Question.  and 200% correct.

To be interested and research anarchy and violence is not wrong. To participate in anarchy to overthrow a corrupt government is sometimes necessary. To paritcipate in violence is wrong.\n\nIt takes research and studies to find out the thoughts that provoke anarchy and violence and to prevent it. I believe it would be difficult to 'anticipate' those actions.  So, no it is not wrong to be interested in those actons.\n\nDid you anticipate the anarchy/violence going on in Paris right now?  Riots are due to new labor laws affecting youth.

Are you new to planet earth!\n\nHistorians make up their minds first (with all their bias, prejudice, political orientations etc) and then try to manipulate the figures in....:-). Never believe those buggers...everyone has an agenda...wonder the same topic in how many angles different different guys write....never thought about it earlier....dont get manipulated.

Plagerism is like copying something from the dictionary or any other source, and saying it is your own.

Because there is no such thing as a Platonic Right or Wrong-- no idealized anything.  There's only what each of us believes to be right or wrong, and so we fight for or against these things in an attempt to fulfill some kind of purpose, and because violence is more effective than diplomacy.\n\nDuh, isn't it obvious?

There's a lot wrong with it. The hypocrisy is so disgusting. This should make some people question what they believe and why! Hopefully this will be a wake-up call for some.

Faith is not right or wrong. It just addresses all of the I don't knows with a certain mental perspective. Ppl need to be able to believe no matter what the circumstances. It's only by faith that anything becomes possible.\n\nBelieveing in things that for the most parthave been proven wrong is just denial.

YOU ARE BRILLIANT!  ...and unfortunately misunderstood.\n\nNothing satisfies like a rhetorical question.

Nothing is right when it is used to kill.It is not right to kill in order to spread democracy.It is not right to kill because of a political view.It is not right to kill for a belief.\n\nUnfortunately, many don't care what is right and what is wrong.

It is wrong, of course, but since you want a debate, I have to play the bad guy now… ok, let’s see…\nShplifting at a large mall is not wrong because these large malls: \n\n1.try to sell very poor quality products on you, which makes you ill, so shoplifters only take a revenge\n2.sell products cheaper than they should, therefore small businesses go bankrupt, so it’s ok to shoplift to take a revenge\n3.have such a huge profit they won’t miss those few things stolen.\n\nSatisfied? :-)

I will be following this very closely, as this question is incredably nessisary to ask. Strange that is should be asked however, since we are all human beings. No one is less than anyone else. Why do we have these ideas that people can push others around or away because of ones subjective belief of right or wrong? Well said Asker.

why are all generalizations always a mistake?

what? these responses are killing me. Love the question though. It takes balls to ask a question like that. \n\nCapitalism isn't evil or wrong on its face; it's the implementation of it that is the problem. The same can be said of any socio-economic construct. We humans have quite a knack for screwing things up and introducing corruption and greed to any system. \n\nCapitalism can be a great motivator, and is the reason our Country has been so successful for generations. But it's gone too far. Greed is the primary indicator of Capitalism these days. From Enron to Union labor to Political lobbying "scandals." We no longer live in a democracy. Our governmental system has been co-opted by Capitalism entirely. Think I'm wrong? Try to run for a National Political Office. I rest my case. That is, unless, dear reader, you are born of privilege, attended the right schools, and are a member of the right organizations (read skull and bones, etc.). In that case, you're a shoe-in for president. Even if you're not one of the chosen and you've worked your way up the ranks from City Council to U.S. Representative, you're doomed to live in Corporation X's pocket, or be damned. Example? Jim Trafficant. Look him up. He wouldn't play ball. "They" kicked him out of the game. game over.\n\nCapitalism won't last forever. My only fear is, what will replace it?\n\n[edit] whoa! ChinaJon!!! i think you just made a few great arguments why Capitalism is awful! It looks great on paper, Capital for growth, etc., but you said it yourself towards the end. Ipods. Why do you think they're made in China? It's not just that it's profitable. It's that it's MORE profitable. Capitalism creates a "race to the bottom." i.e. wherever the lowest front end costs are is where the economic development goes. Used to be Mexico, now China, then Indonesia, and so on. The Golden Age of Capitalism was the U.S. in the 1950's. It was mostly a closed market, and it worked. It was self sustaining because it didn't have to play on the global playing field and compete with much LOWER standards of living in other countries. Less profits, which became unacceptable to the Corporations. They looked for ways to maximize profits, and here we are. \n\nAmerica is not the shining example of prosperity it once was. We have no real middle class any more and it's only getting worse. The class gap is frightening. And we pass more tax cuts for the rich. GO CAPITALISM GO!\n\nmorons.

Good Question, which took me several minutes of valuable on-line time here at the Library to even consider a possible cause.\n\nPerhaps this overdramatized dualistic Labeling is PROOF of the lazy "lowest common denominator" of COMMON humans? This form of Aristotelian "thinking" harks back to the Ancient Greeks, so is not a new phenomenon, at all. Notice all the bloody WARS throughout recorded human history?\n\nAlfred Korzybsky, author of "SCIENCE & SANITY" and other General Semantics books, identifies this rigid, two-valued form of "Logic" as THE key factor in mental break-downs in thought; i.e. ( human misuse of Language leading TO actual INsanity!). He made his own observations  in psychiatric wards personally supervised in his work. \n\nDoctor Korzybsky (sp?) recommends re-training in General Semantics & MULTI-VALUED Logical analysis & description as a key help, if not a  REMEDY for such insanities! (Of course, those  NOT caused primarily by actual, Neurological Disease.)\n\nBinary or Boolean "Logic" is usefull in design of  NON-organic systems such as computer hardware, but dangerous if used to address REAL Life problems, or in Science and the Arts. The  simplest set of "Logical" values would be Trinary; i.e 3-valued!\n"Yes", "No", and "Maybe/Don'tknow4sure"!  \n\nThe simplistic use of "LIBERAL" versus "CONSERVATIVE" stereotyping you HEAR on the (AM) Talk Shows probably indicates frightened but LAZY Thinking of the commoner who  calls-into these programs. LIB/CON dualisms could also be a deliberate & manipulated RHETORICAL ploy of political pseudo-thinkers who wish to push their OWN (often stupid!) AGENDA! \n\nOoops! Sorry. Got carried away there.  Go READ Korzybsky!
