Plagiarism

I feel that plagiarism is a rising problem in this country, for today's youth do not seem to comrehend that simply because something is on the internet, it is not up for grabs to be used in any matter. Taking ideas from a work and then interpreting them into original ideas is one thing, but blatantly using someone else's work is downright lazy. The simple way to get around this is to simply cite the works used, an idea people aren't seeming to understand today. Once proper credit is given, other people's works can be included into a student's original work.
