Week 6 - Plagiarism

I thought for the most part that I knew pretty much what would be considered plagiarism. I had not realized that you could even plagiarize yourself. The extent of what is considered plagiarism and proper citing techniques were quite overwhelming when I first began classes at Brandman. Something I noticed after I learned more about plagiarism was just how often it occurs and people don't realize it. I see plenty of people plagiarize on social media. People use song lyrics or quotes frequently on Facebook and other social media without citing them. I'm sure that most people don't realize they are plagiarising when they do it. Plagiarism on the whole seems like a pretty difficult situation to avoid if people are unaware they are doing it.
