How would you stop plagiarism from ruining our lives?

What is plagiarism and how do we stop it?

According to the MLA Style Center and many beliefs, plagiarism is a common but unwelcome act. It is when one creates the image that someone else’s work is their own without giving recognition. As one does plagiarism, it often can be seen as “cut and dry” (Mr. Turner), where its easily seen as another’s work. There are other instances when the person does the act by accident when stuck on wording and could only turn to plagiarism. However there are many methods to avoid which include giving credit for their words, work and ideas. When listening to lectures or even radios, pay attention to your source(s) and double check with others to be safe. While habits may be hard to quit, it would be better than having a permanent record of this and trust being hard to gain once again.
