How young do we have to teach kids about plagiarism these days? And is it supremely important in this world today? Yes and no. On one hand the world decides what can be counted as plagiarism and what cannot. On the other hand, ONCE AGAIN, almost everything is game for accusations of plagiarism. I think even a children’s novel these days is as vulnerable to this as is something as huge as a movie or a piece of music. I’ll just end this scoop.it with a question... What are your thoughts on how the worlds works with copyrights and plagiarism?
