plagiarism can be called the action of taking or stealing any idea, invention, publication, among others, and passing it off as if we were the author of them without giving any credit, naming or referring to the true or true author of these creations, that from my point of view is quite bad because those people to be able to carry out those ideas need time, commitment and dedication, things that are very valuable for someone else to come and copy them and of take all the credit.

types of plagiarism ?.

some of the most common types of plagiarism that are commented are the following :.

cloning: it is taking someone else's work and doing another job, passing it as your own without even changing words or characters, that is, it is simply copying and pasting all other people's work.

mosaic: this type of plagiarism consists of grabbing information from various sources in such a way that by joining all the parts it gives us detailed and complete information.

copied and pasted: it is safe to say that it is very similar to the first type, since it consists of copying the text from another source and pasting it into our, word by word, just like it shows up in the other person's work.

search and replace: consists of changing the important words of the other work and replacing it with another of the same meaning, thus leaving the clear idea of the original work.

other types of plagiarism can be found, but I will name the most common ones.

we should not commit plagiarism since when finding out that our work has been copied from another work makes ours have less value, we lose our moral and molarea ethics and it is certain that it will harm us sooner or later , and if we are not discovered, it makes us get used to doing this action more often, and it makes us less cocky, creative and innovative since we do not put our minds to good use because what we do is just copy and paste.

Conclusion.

I have come to the conclusion that plagiarism is something that we are aware that we should not do because by doing so we are stealing someone else's credit and ideas, as well as time and the effort that is dedicated to that so that it is stolen, and by avoiding it it helps us, because because of that we can put our mind into practice when studying, analyzing, writing, etc. Because that way we no longer depend on just copy and paste.
