Hyein Shim/ a persuasive essay/ tue 9am

Nowadays the topic of plagiarism is very important and stressing. More and more people start stealing the ideas and content of writers, scholars being unable to brainstorm their own concepts, methods and solutions. The problem is extremely widespread in education. Students at high schools, colleges and universities plagiarize various academic papers, including term papers, research papers, essays, thesis and even dissertations with the help of the Internet. Most students simply do not want to spend time on paper writing and the only way out for them is to download or buy a plagiarized paper on the required topic.

 

Plagiarism is a big problem because it is another way of cheating. Undetected plagiarized work may result higher grades of students. The plagiarized work can be used for entrance in higher education or job. Plagiarizers can deceive officers into believing that he possess knowledge and skills that actually he don't. Plagiarism also has some corrosive effects on student and on society. Students start feeling that plagiarism is necessary in order to compete with others.

  1. This essay has good background information and supporting details for the writer's point; that plagiarism in educational field is getting worse. It would be better if you divide your body paragraph into two with one thesis statement each. 1.plagiarism is another way of cheating. 2.it has some corrosive effects.
    Also, you should add a paragraph containing counter-argument with refutation/concession, so that it can make your point stronger.

  2. Your writing is very interesting. Your writing is passing the main point of the writing of plagiarism and your writing like 'another way of cheating' in the first sentence of second paragraph goes very strong to me. And the 'easy use of technology' at the second sentence at the last paragraph is also very good example and point of the writing.
    But I just wonder how about having backspace at the start of the paragraph and do not double space at the paragraph. Also it could be better if you write more body paragraph at the writing.

    Plagiarism is a big problem because it is another way of cheating. Undetected plagiarized work may result higher grades of students. This can be a really big problem. Imagine that you did your own work by yourself, but one of your friends did his work by plagiarizing from the internet and got a good score. How do you feel of this? If this kind of action continues, you may don’t want to do your job by yourself and start plagiarizing just like your friend.

    Also, the plagiarized work can be used for entrance in higher education or job. Plagiarizers can deceive officers into believing that he possess knowledge and skills that actually he doesn't. What is the difference between the theft and the plagiarizer? They are just same because both are stealing someone’s, and behaving like it is their own.

    Plagiarism also has some corrosive effects on student and on society. Students start feeling that plagiarism is necessary in order to compete with others. This may prevent the society to improve. As many people do not try to make their own job, how can the improvement appears? This is the easiest way to make failed society.
