Achievement 3 by @sher11 Task; Content Etiquette

Helloo there everyone;
I am slowly and steadily sailing through my achievement tasks and I’m back again to complete my task on achievement 3 which focuses on content etiquette and more specifically plagiarism.

          WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?

”Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement. " ^Source

           FORMS OF PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism has many different types or forms.

Certain types or forms of plagiarism include direct plagiarism which is a word for word replication of an individual’s world without attributing the necessary credit to the person.

Another form of plagiarism is mosaic plagiarism which involves borrowing a text from a source without adding quotation marks.

Last but certainly not the least is accidental plagiarism which occurs when a person misquotes a source or forgets to cite a source.

With Steemit encouraging originality of work amongst its users as much as possible, plagiarism from members is entirely frowned on by the community. Plagiarising ones work leaves a negative taste in the mouth of readers who visit a particular content.

I encourage every user to not only refrain from plagiarism but be mindful of acknowledging a source of information.

I have read and understood the Steemit Etiquette on Steemit community and will do my best to embrace them
