Achievement 3 task by youngkay94 : CONTENT ETIQUETTE
PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism in simple definition simply means copying a work done by someone and showing it off as your own work and not acknowledging the real owner.
Many Institutions frown upon plagiarism and in some places there is severe punishment for such an act. I remember when i was doing my final year project, we had to upload our work to check if there was plagiarism in it.

WHY YOU SHOULD STRIVE TO BE ORIGINAL
Imagine taking your time and effort to create something and someone just comes and takes credit for it, How will you feel? Definitely Bad.
This is why every writer is supposed to create original content and if at all you will use someones work it should be referenced and show its sources. Plagiarism can cost you your respect in the academic world.
I have read and understood the steemit Etiquette on steemit community and i will do my best to embrace them.
