    Plagarism Lines Blur for Students in the Digital Age, is an article by Trip Gabriel published in The New York Times on August 1st, 2010. The article was written to tell people about how many attendees at colleges and other people are using material that isn't theirs and not giving credit for it. The article was probably intended for people or students that work or attend colleges since most of the plagarism is from college attendees. The main idea was was that many people are using selections of work that is not theirs and that it is is a terrible thing. I was shocked when I saw the amount of people that used plagarism. I personally think it is a terrible thing and a violation of copyright. It seems to me that is someone wants to use a little bit of someone's material, they should give credit for it, or ask permission to use it first. It just seems to be the right thing to do.

    In the August 1, 2010 New York Times article, "Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in the Digital Age", the author, Trip Gabriel, wants people to think about copying and pasting from the internet. The author is writing this article mostly to people in college. The article says that people think that there is no problem with taking words right from the internet and not siting their source. It says that students at big colleges may or may not know what they are doing is wrong.

    My reaction is that people should site their source because they are stealing words from the original author.

    August 1,2010 the article "Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in the Digital Age", by Trip Gabrial was posted. He was trying to show the readers the different situations there were with collage plagiarism. The different students didnt put out the effort to writting essays or any other writting assignments. Some people think that it is okay to take words straight from the internet, others think that it is very wrong.
    I think that it is verry wrong for people to take words from other authors.

    In early August of 2010 the article posted in the New York Times by Trip Gabrial "Plagiarism Lines Blur for Student in the Digital Age" wasn't posted just for college students but for all people who have to, or even want to write a essay or article. A study was done from 2006 to 2010 on undergraduates. The test was done by Donald L. McCabe and a business professor from a university. The main purpose of the article was to show that just because that information is on the internet doesn't mean it's yours to take and use. The main idea was that people of this age are becoming "lazy" and are copy and pasting info from common websites, and using them for essays or reports, without giving credit to them. Almost half of the astonishing 14,000 people that were part of the study admitted to copying from a website with out giving credit to the original author. My thoughts on the article are that it is wrong to copy others work for self use and not give credit to the original author, but on the other side there really isn't a way to stop the plagiarism. If you think about it are over six and a half billion people on this earth and there is a more than that many different articles, essays, and or information on the web so there really isn't way to stop it.

    "Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in Digital Age" is a New York Times article posted by Trip Gabriel, in August, 2010. The purpose of this article is too let readers know that it is wrong to use someone's work and call it your own. It was probably written for all students who are writing essays, so that they can understand that just because it is easy to copy and paste someone's work, doesn't make it right. The main idea is that today's technology makes it really easy to take information off the internet, and use for your own article without giving credit to the original author. I was shocked when I read that college students actually try to get away with something like that. I personally think that plagiarism is not only lazy, but wrong.

    "Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in Digital Age" was posted by Trip Gabriel in the New York Times, August 2010. This article was written to adress the fact of how many people plagiarize and take credit for other peoples work with technology these days. It was probably heading mostly towards college students to warn and tell them that Plageriarism is wrong and it is illegal. The whole point of this article was to identify how students are and may be using plagiarism and could care less! Either the students know that they are using plageriarism or they are clueless but wither way it is still wrong. Plageriarism is out there and it needs to be stopped. It is a horrible thing to do. Plageriarism is lazy, inconciderate, rude, illegal, and just plain wrong. I can only hope those students will come to their senses before its too late.

    To inform readers that plagarism is getting easier for students because of technology.
    Parents, teachers, and students.
    Plagarism is not good, but can easily be done.
    I think that this article is very true.
    We are getting lazier but, they put out this information so its easier for us to get a hold of. Then again its our choice we dont have to copy it.

    The article of the week was "Plagiarism lines blur for students in the digital age" by Trip Gabriel.It was published in the New York Times August 1,2010.The purpose of this article was to point out that just because our generation is advanced in technology it still is not ok to plagirize.Also stating that plagerising is an intentional thing not an accident.Most of all directing this to the students how wrong plagerism is and how you can get in big trouble for being lazy.The point is not to steal others ideas and be orginal with your own ideas for your work and writing.I think plagerism is wrong and its lying,saying that you wrote something that you didnt.So my belief is just to do your homework in the first place.

    "Plagiarism lines blur students in the digital age" is an article written by Trip Gabrial that was posted in the New York Times, on August 1, 2010. The purpose of the article is to open peoples eyes to how much plagriarism is going on becuase of the amount of imformation posted on the internet by annonymous. The intended audience is probably college students and teachers. The main idea is that many people use plagrism not realizing or caring that it is illegal and wronge to copy and paste pieces of work that aren't their property. I think people should give credit to the authors of the words they are using because it is stealing if you don't site your source.

    Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in the Digital Age was posted in the New York times, on August 1, 2010, by Trip Gabriel. The purpose of this article, was to inform the people of our country, that plagiarism is a problem happening everyday, here in the U.S. Some students think that copying and pasting something from the interent, or even a book they read, is ok and an easy way to recieve an A. Most of this is ocurring because now a days, our technology is so great, it is just a click away from reading something online, and posting it on a blank computer screen, or piece of paper, and calling it their own blood sweat and tears. Although some students are unaware of this ongoing situation, they should be aware that plagiarism is a misdimeener, and they could wind up doing time in the big house. I would hope to think, that students would want the pride in saying they did their own work, without having to right-click and scroll down until they hit the highlighted word, copy.
