Behavior

That’s Outrageous

About the Topic

Cheating or plagiarism is not a new phenomenon to us all. In such an age of information explosion, what we do need to take some time to familiarize ourselves with are the various new forms of plagiarism occurring with the development of the Internet and the corresponding anti-plagiarism technology to counter them. The due blame and penalty, of course, lie on the plagiarists. But this seems not the entire story. Are teachers tolerant of such behaviors not to blame? And, moreover, isn’t it a right for plagiarists to choose plagiarism?
