September 3rd

Today we started off talking a little bit about plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use someone else's idea and say that it is your information. After we talked a little bit, we then searched about plagiarism. We searched for plagiarism that mostly happened in Japanese schools. Then we searched about our own topic for the other team.

I've heard of the word plagiarism and knew the meaning. However, I haven't searched for the examples and I was surprised when I saw so many websites which talked about the people who plagiarised, but I was more surprised that there was a lot of people in Japanese school who plagiarised. I learned that there are still plagiarism happening which should not be happening because it is a bad thing to steal ideas from someone else. 

The second task we did is where we still think about plagiarism and search for the topic we chose for the presentation. I couldn't really find a website that connects with my topic. I also couldn't find any essays that someone has written. However, I think searching about somethings and sharing with everyone is a good thing because if you want to know about a topic which someone has done, we can use the website that other people found and use them.

In the next lesson, if we are going to talk about plagiarism again, I want to know more about it. For example, why people do that or how people do that.
