1. How to avoid
plagiarism, and copy
right. And how to use
proper netiquettes

2. Plagiarism
Plagiarism is basically taking someone
else's work and saying it’s yours.
“Many people think of plagiarism as
copying another's work, or borrowing
someone else's original ideas. But
terms like "copying" and "borrowing"
can disguise the importance of the
offense.”

3. Plagiarism continued……..........
Plagiarism is a bad thing to because
how would you feel if someone took
your work and claimed it as there own.
It wouldn’t feel good wright? That’s
how other people feel when other
people take work and claim it as their
own.

4. Copyright
“A copyright is the legal right to
publish or distribute a written work.
The copyright is usually owned by the
author of the work unless otherwise
stated.” And you must ask that person
to use his/her work. Several people
think if they take somebody's work
they wont get caught but they have
there ways of finding you.

5. Copyright continued………
Did you know that you can
copyright your things to? So if ever
do something that you want the
world to see but not take all you
have to do is copyright it, and
caboom its yours and not nobody
else’s.

6. Netiquette
Netiquettes is basically having proper
use on the internet. And respecting
everyone on the internet. It also helps
you be a better person. Its just like
responding to emails.

7. Rules Netiquette
“1. Give and you shall receive. If you want something from someone, be it a backlink or a review or even just a
retweet, then you should be thinking about what you can do for them. It’s common sense, really, but most people
have lost it in their quest for online greatness. Help someone out and they will remember when you come to
them at a later date asking for a favor.
2. Be polite. As simplistic as that sounds, it really is one of the most effective methods of communicating with
others on social media. Remember to say please and thank you and people will remember you. Best yet, avoid
the anger induced rants that are so easy to get into when someone has done you wrong. Keep your mouth shut
and avoid name calling.
3. Contribute something. We’ve all seen those forum posters who just agree mindlessly with everyone to get
their signature line with its flashing links out there. Don’t be that person. Instead, take the time to really offer
some value and make yourself useful to others. They will come back for more.
4. Listen more than you speak. You’ve probably heard the saying, “God gave you two ears and one mouth, so
you should listen twice as much as you speak.” Well, the same goes for social media. It’s not an excuse to babble
away about anything and everything, it’s a place to listen to others and network with them.
5. Be kind. A kind word goes a long way in social media, as well as in real life. Being nice to everyone you
meet, online and offline, is a great way to gain friends and make valuable contacts. Don’t be rude and make sure
you listen to people and they will keep coming back.
6. Time your requests. We all know someone in real life who asks for favors entirely too often. Online, that
problem is times ten. Don’t keep asking people to join your other social media networks or read your blog. In
fact, you should try to keep self promotional links and tweets to a bare minimum. Asking for help too often will
simply drive people away.”

8. If caught plagiarizing
If you are caught plagiarizing you will be
sent to jail. And you will be charged with
plagiarism. They would send you to jail for
two years.

9. If caught plagiarizing continued……..
If you are a college student you be expelled
from your school. And if you try to enroll
into a new school your previous school will
tell them that you plagiarized. Same thing
when your in high school they will tell all of
the schools you enrolled to that you
plagiarized.
