Discussion
Plagiarism is often thought of in the context of academic institutions, but there are many reported situations outside of the classroom where individuals use ideas from other people without giving proper credit. While in school, the consequences may be reflected in a student's grade. Outside of school, the consequences may tarnish a professional's reputation and potentially bring legal action. The Learning Activities included resources to help you avoid plagiarism, and this Discussion will give you an opportunity to practice those skills. For another helpful overview of plagiarism, review the TED Talks Punishable Perils of Plagiarism.
Find a reliable secondary source for an argument for change in your community or workplace. Then, choose a short passage that verifies or disputes your position. Respond to the following prompts in at least two well-developed paragraphs (not including the copied-and-pasted material from your secondary source):
• Describe the source you found, the process you used to find it, and why you selected it. What makes this a reliable source? Does it support or refute your argument?
• Paraphrase relevant information from a short passage in the source you found. Be sure to use in-text citations with any sentences reflecting ideas from the source, e.g., (Doe, 2013) or According to Jane Doe (2013).
