After reviewing some of my past work, and the way I'm thinking about plagiarism, I think it's such a dishonest thing to do to not only to your professors or to the original creator, but to yourself when you cannot come up with something original or even take some of the original work and make it into your own words- its dishonest and horrible. I think plagiarism is such an overlooked issue, especially in the day-and-age that we are in, with such advanced technology we students have, I think that plagiarism is still an issue. Not only with "Copy & Paste" existing in technology, but the fact that students can go into the deep web and find citations that are- "untraceable", making it difficult for professors to look to see if what the student says is legit and not simply copied, I think that it's getting easier and easier as the years go by. By the time you know it, plagiarism can be looking at you right in the face and you wouldn't know it. Knowing myself, when I was much younger, I might've committed plagiarism unintentionally, since I didn't know what that term meant. After I learned what it means, I completely stopped because I always wanted to treat everyone fairly.
