Internet Plagiarism

Plagiarism is something that should be prohibited. I do not think it is fair for those to use someone else’s hard work and not be given credited for it. In this chapter, Brook J. Sadler and Russell Hunt both have different opinions about the topic of plagiarism. They’re both professors at Universities, and both have completely different stances on how they feel about plagiarism. Sadler listed ten wrongs of internet plagiarism. Sadler basically believes that plagiarism should not be tolerated, and it is dishonest. If plagiarism is accepted, then that means that there would be suspicion to higher education. Hunt, on the other hand, believes that plagiarism should be welcomed. He states that by allowing students to plagiarize, gives them the opportunity to understand the difference between the power to copy and the right to copy. I believe Sadler makes the better argument about this topic because she gives more valid reasons as to why it is wrong, and supports why she feels that way. Hunt does bring an interesting side of this but I still believe Sadler made the stronger argument.
