3. PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is the misrepresentation of authorship. Really, words and ideas conceived by one person are attributed to another
person.
Plagiarism is a form of intellectual theft or fraud and it undermines the intellectual economy that values ideas, words, and
understanding. Even when an act of plagiarism appears superficially a victimless crime, it nonetheless devalues the currency
of human thought and thereby weakens society.
In the most common form of plagiarism, one author’s words are inserted verbatim in the work of a second author, without
quotation, acknowledgement, or attribution. But there are many other forms of plagiarism, including some that are often
accepted or even encouraged by society, notably ghostwriting, speech-writing, and paraphrasing.
