We need to cite our sources because it gives credit to the writer for all their work.
• What would you do if someone used something you created without giving you credit?
I've had that done before and I was pretty upset that my co-worker stole my idea and pitched it to our director before I did. I didn't have to do anything to rectify the situation because she realized I was to the point of being hostile with her and my director found out whose idea it really was.
• Consider some of the real-world plagiarism issues you have learned of that include professionals. How should those issues be handled?
There's plagiarism in every industry in this world. In business people plagiarize off other businesses but do it legally but changing one thing. Song artists especially plagiarize songs and lyrics. Some of them have to be handled legally if the parties can not come to an agreement when it is found that some used someone else's slogan or business name.
• Does the Internet blur the lines of “legally owned”? Consider sites like YouTube and Wikipedia.
Sites like YouTube and Wikipedia are sites full of opinions and plagiarism and it's not regulated.
