Hourigan the author begins the essay with the explanation of
how plagiarism has always been around although it was much more difficult to
attain others words because of the absence of the internet. She then suggests
the argument about how the accessibility to of mass amounts of information
leads to more plagiarism. She then goes into to detail about how universities
are trying to stop it with harsh penalties and such.
Although I do not believe in plagiarism I do not believe
that a accidental plagiarism or not knowing that you had plagiarized results in
the same punishment which this day in age results in a terrible amount of
trouble. I have also never been in trouble for this but every time I submit a
paper to safe assign and see that it under 15% matching it is a weight lifted
off my shoulders.
