It can be easy to forget a set of quotation marks, to paraphrase too closely, or to leave out a citation. Showing students real-life examples of plagiarism can also make the subject more relatable.<\/p>\n<h3>Incorrect paraphrasing<\/h3>\n<p><a href=index-1249.html>Paraphrasing<\/a> means formulating someone else\u2019s ideas in your own words. In order to do so correctly, you must entirely rewrite the passage you are referencing without changing the meaning of the original text.<\/p>\n<p>Every time you paraphrase, it\u2019s important to <a href=index-1052.html>cite the original source<\/a>, and avoid wording that is too similar to the original. Otherwise, you could be at risk of committing plagiarism.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left\"><figcaption>Original text<\/figcaption>&#8220;So much of modern-day life revolves around using opposable thumbs, from holding a hammer to build a home to ordering food delivery on our smartphones. But for our ancestors, the uses were much simpler. Strong and nimble thumbs meant that they could better create and wield tools, stones and bones for killing large animals for food&#8221; (Handwerk, 2021).<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left red\"><figcaption>Example of plagiarism: Paraphrased poorly with no citation<\/figcaption><strong>A lot<\/strong> of <strong>life today<\/strong> involves <strong>using<\/strong> opposable thumbs, from using a hammer to build a <strong>house<\/strong> to ordering <strong>something<\/strong> on our smartphones. But for our <strong>predecessors<\/strong>, the uses were much <strong>more simple<\/strong>. <strong>Powerful<\/strong> and <strong>dexterous<\/strong> thumbs meant that they could better <strong>make<\/strong> and <strong>use<\/strong> tools, stones and bones for killing large animals <strong>to eat<\/strong>.<\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"highlight-green\">Solution:<\/span> Paraphrasing does not mean just switching out a few words from a copied-and-pasted text. In order to paraphrase correctly, you should rewrite the author\u2019s point to show that you completely understand it. Don&#8217;t forget to include a citation!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left green\"><figcaption>Example: Paraphrased correctly with a citation<\/figcaption>Our opposable thumbs are such an ingrained part of our day-to-day life that we likely do not even pay them much notice. However, they could be a matter of life or death for our ancestors. Per Handwerk (2021), opposable thumbs allowed earlier humans to survive and thrive, enhancing their ability to create tools and weapons to kill large animals.<\/figure>\n<h3>Incorrect quoting<\/h3>\n<p><a href=index-1828.html>Quoting<\/a> means copying a brief passage of someone else\u2019s words, enclosed in <a href=index-2681.html>quotation marks<\/a>. Be sure to correctly cite the original source, and make sure that the text within quotation marks is identical to the original.<\/p>\n<p>In academic writing, it\u2019s usually best to quote sparingly. Consider paraphrasing instead, to better show that you have understood the source and make your work more original.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left\"><figcaption>Original text<\/figcaption>&#8220;Ancient Sparta has been held up for the last two and a half millennia as the unmatched warrior city-state, where every male was raised from infancy to fight to the death. This view, as ingrained as it is alluring, is almost entirely false&#8221; (Cole, 2021).<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left red\"><figcaption>Example of plagiarism: No quotation marks or citation<\/figcaption>For the last 2,500 years, Ancient Sparta has been considered the <strong>unmatched warrior city-state<\/strong> in popular imagination. The idea that <strong>every male was raised from infancy to fight to the death, as ingrained as it is alluring<\/strong>\u00a0is actually not true.<\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"highlight-green\">Solution:<\/span> The text you are quoting must be introduced in your own words, enclosed in quotation marks, and correctly attributed to the original author. In general, quotations should be used sparingly.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left green\"><figcaption>Example: Quoted correctly with a citation<\/figcaption>For the last 2,500 years, Ancient Sparta has been considered the &#8220;unmatched warrior city-state&#8221; in popular imagination, where &#8220;every male was raised from birth to fight to the death.&#8221; Despite its prominence, this conceptualization is actually not true (Cole, 2021).<\/figure>\n<h3>Failure to cite ideas and information<\/h3>\n<p>Even if you&#8217;re not directly copying a passage of text, you still need to cite the source of information and ideas that you use in your writing.<\/p>\n<p>Just like common sense, <a href=index-1832.html>common knowledge<\/a> is not always so common. You may be tempted to mention a fact, concept, or equation that you assume everyone knows, but proceed with caution.<\/p>\n<p>In order to be considered common knowledge, your statement should be widely known, undisputed, and easily verified. It also generally cannot be attributed to a specific person or paper. When in doubt, add a citation.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left\"><figcaption>Example of common knowledge<\/figcaption>Independence Day in the United States is celebrated on July 4.<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left red\"><figcaption>Example that needs a citation<\/figcaption>The Continental Congress actually voted for independence on July 2, 1776, even though Independence Day today is celebrated every July 4.<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox border-left green\"><figcaption>Example with correct citation<\/figcaption>The Continental Congress actually voted for independence on July 2, 1776, even though Independence Day today is celebrated every July 4 <span class=\"highlight-green\">(National Archives, 2005)<\/span>.<\/figure>\n<h3>Real-life examples of plagiarism<\/h3>\n<p>There are many relevant examples of plagiarism in different industries, from pop culture to academia and public speaking.<\/p>\n<div class=\"scribbrTabs\" style=\"border: none;\">\n<ul class=\"scribbrTabs-menu\" style=\"border-radius: 10px; background-color: #202f66; font-size: 0.9em;\">\n<li class=\"current\"><a href=index.html#\"><span class=\"text-color-white\">Plagiarism in academia<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index.html#\"><span class=\"text-color-white\">Plagiarism in art<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index.html#\"><span class=\"text-color-white\">Plagiarism in politics<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=index.html#\"><span class=\"text-color-white\">Plagiarism in music<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"scribbrTabs-tabs\">\n<div class=\"scribbrTabs-content\">\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox\">Plagiarism in academic settings is not just limited to words. Using the datasets or research findings of others is also considered plagiarism. In 2006, the Brookings Institute accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of having plagiarized 80% of his economics dissertation from a paper published by the University of Pittsburgh a few decades earlier. Dissertation plagiarism committed by other famous politicians, such as former Senator John Walsh, former German Defense Secretary Karl Theodor zu Guttenberg, and former Hungarian President Pal Schmitt, led to their resignations and their degrees being revoked.

However, it is still possible to plagiarize art. In 1966, famous Pop Art artist Andy Warhol was sued by photographer Patricia Caulfield, who claimed unauthorized use of one of her photographs. Warhol had seen her photo of hibiscus flowers in the 1964 issue of Modern Photography, and used it for his silkscreen work <em>Flowers<\/em>. While Warhol&#8217;s team argued that this was &#8220;fair use,&#8221; a judge determined that Warhol had, in fact, plagiarized the photo. This led to enduring reputation costs and a large financial settlement.

In 2016, a speech Melania Trump gave at the Republican National Convention was found to have copied several paragraphs almost verbatim from a speech Michelle Obama gave at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. While her staff claimed that she had incorporated &#8220;fragments of others\u2019 speeches that reflected her own thinking,\u201d she was widely considered to have plagiarized. Joe Biden was found to have committed similar plagiarism in a speech he gave during the 1988 presidential campaign, paraphrasing a speech by Welsh politician Neil Kinnock too closely. Source: <a href=index-4818.html>CNN<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"scribbrTabs-content\">\n<figure class=\"kb-textbox\">While technically no one owns a chord progression or particular combination of sounds, plagiarism in the music industry is a common accusation. In 2018, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the 2013 hit song &#8220;Blurred Lines&#8221; by Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams infringed on the copyright of the song &#8220;Got to Give It Up&#8221; by the late Marvin Gaye. The Gaye family was awarded over $5 million in damages as well as 50% of the royalties moving forward. This sets a precedent that new music must be different in both style and substance from previously copyrighted songs. Other hit artists, such as Sam Smith, George Harrison, and Olivia Rodrigo, have faced similar consequences.
