The previous article discussed the importance of original articles as the basis for developing a blog or website. This time, we’ll explore plagiarism, which can poison the blog you’re working on.

The reason for discussing plagiarism is because it’s the reprehensible act of copying a sentence or article from someone else’s written source and using it for publication, as if it were one’s own work.

Plagiarism is a violation of copyright and, of course, a legal offense. Plagiarism is an act that harms the author who has written an article or idea. Therefore, plagiarism is undesirable and should be avoided scientifically.

Because plagiarism is a violation of copyright and against the law, every act of plagiarism is like a virus that destroys scientific value and diminishes the morality of science, which should be well-preserved.

Plagiarism is a virus without a production machine, and humans are the primary perpetrators: those who disrespect a writer’s written work, clearly considering an article worthless to the author.

Plagiarists can be categorized as mentally weak, lazy, stupid, and unable to use their intelligence normally, thus degrading the morality of those who commit plagiarism.

Plagiarism is detrimental to those who commit it, as it increases laziness and changes mindsets, leading to the perception of plagiarism as normal. This can even become the seed of a psychological disease that can develop into something negative.

However, with the advancement of science and technology, plagiarism can be detected through software and applications provided by various providers and found online.
