Professionalism

1. We as authors need to cite our sources to avoid the penalties of plagiarism.
2. I would be very upset if someone used my work without giving proper credit and make sure to make them aware of the "mistake". I may eventually turn them in if necessary.
3. I think real world issues should be handled with severe penalties. Plagiarism is not necessary and should not be tolerated.
4. The internet may blur the lines of "legally owned". I have found a lot of times that the internet does not give proper credit to authors and in turn I as an author cannot give proper credit to the original author which is not fair.
