Vandals of plagiarism are the bad behaviour that exists in every industry.

On the other hand, plagiarism means the"wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work. The idea remains problematic with unclear definitions and unclear rules

In the industry we have designers, inventors, innovators and creators and many else. Then if you try to create a dominant, they often faced with the experience of 'Copied' portfolio to the media and they do not care anymore, even in the academic, the teachers, many of them still have pain when they see the students doing their homework by 'COPYING & PASTING' article from the Internet. It also can be seen more frequently in the media that some sites, copy the content from the web to publish the manuscript then concluded that as a result of his work



The picture below shows some example on why students do plagiarize:


These stories happen all the time in our society. So we need to question the position of the technology, 'is it the benefits of access information already endless?”. The bad side usually comes like two-sided coin, which seems to be the problem that cannot be solved in the forum's website and TED.com, there is a set point for people to comment on the issue, and one of the comments said, "To steal ideas is actually a person with mental problems. Because people that are intelligent in the classroom is often a to be the most beloved among their friends and whoever does not like people who always boasted clever and who is likely to steal the ideas of others to say the same as their own.

 Misconceptions of plagiarism
    This matter still in a point of discussion, it is an endless problem. Whether it is in the classroom like copying others homework or in work place like stealing someones ideas until in the social media they also copied others content. Wonder why the popular misconception, about stolen or 'borrowed' the contribution of others to use, it still appeared to linger everywhere and this is not the end. We have done an observation and from that, we have got three misconceptions among the plagiarist in every situation.

  • "Plagiarist- They felt that no one knows about their doing"

Tools to detect plagiarists idea are a very powerful tool but it also vulnerable to thieves to escape from being caught. This is because 'Detection software' does not detect plagiarists idea directly, but the detection of the highlights of the text that was written two times (depending on the type of instrument used) usually the tool will run the software, and it will search the text that was written from anywhere and is highlighted. Later, when the same word or phrase pops up in another, this software will also be notified immediately.

    But the outcome that often occurred is the reminder will appear when the word or phrase that is mostly used, so then the tools to detect plagiarism, still required the ability of humans to be repeated the work of the software.


  •   Plagiarism is a matter of proportion

Many people believe that plagiarism is about 'Ratio of similarity” in one of the article, but the fact is even if you just copied the ideas of others just 5% or 10%, it also considered as imitators. Especially, the writing in academic field such as 'research' or 'thesis' nowadays can be verified that it is copied from another work about a few per cent.
    The problem in this matter, when it is referenced in academic papers has to specify clearly and accurately the source of the content. Sometimes content with a new idea was presented as critical thinking or synthesize it in their owned style. In academic circles, the writing is not standardized with the 'ratio', or the 'scope' of reference is stated clearly.

  •   The rewrite was not considered a plagiarism

Nowadays, some people set their mind if they 'Write the new remix' of the article does not considered as copying manuscripts. This is the easiest way to avoid charge of plagiarism. However, the issue of plagiarism idea is not just about we copied the content exactly, even we write the new remix also called as plagiarism. So if you are going to copy the work of others by using words like original, you may also be saved from the charges, but it means that it still considered as steal other people's ideas to be used for your own job.

             In a nutshell, we can relate all the passage above with an idiom called “Steal Someone’s Thunder” which means someone use your ideas or inventions for their own advantage.
I will give you some tips to avoid plagiarism, look at the picture below:


To end my post, together we say NO
to plagiarism.

Short Story (giving)

GIVING
Andrew Loo was born and raised in poor family background. He lived with his single mother who sick. Because of that, his mother couldn’t work and afford the medicines for her health. Due to that, Andrew felt sympathy and responsible towards his mother’s conditions.

            One gloomy day, Andrew had decided to leave home early in the morning to the market place. As soon as he arrived, he went straight to pharmacy near the market to look for his mother’s medicine. Unfortunately, the medicine price was too expensive. In spite of that, without long thinking, Andrew decided to steal the painkillers by hoarding it into his pockets secretly. By chance Andrew was caught by the owner of the pharmacy, Uncle John. As the storekeeper berates Andrew about stealing his merchandise, a soup seller named Mr. Jacob Clerk at a nearby booth comes up to Andrew and asks him if his mother is sick. Andrew reluctantly nods yes. Due to sympathy, Mr. Jacob willingly pays the Uncle John’s price of the painkillers. Next, he then calls to his daughter Diana Clerk to bring the boy some veggie soup to take home. Diana rolled her eyes in a manner that let us know, this was nothing new with her father because his generosity to help poor people.

            A couple decades later, the soup seller Mr. Jacob, still running his soup business as usual, until the day he falls down in his restaurant of some unnamed illness. He is rushed to the hospital. After Mr. Jacob safely recovered from surgery, his daughter Diana received a bill $124000. Diana was clearly distraught and unsure how to pay the bill. She then cried at the bed of her recovered father. Without expecting, she found a note from the young boy who had been helped twenty years earlier by her father. Now, the boy is presumably a successful doctor, named Doctor Loo. He has paid the bill in full for the kindness and giving nature of the man so many years before.

            As a nutshell, after Mr. Jacob had fully recovered, he and his daughter Diana met the note’s owner. They went to Dr. Loo’s room to meet him. As soon as Mr. Jacob met Dr. Loo, he hugged and thanked Dr. Loo for his kindness and wares. Moral of the story, no one has ever become poor by giving. When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.

Childhood Memories




Hey guys! How was your day today? I hope you all had a wonderful day.
Tonight, we want to share about our own childhood memories with everybody. As we know, everybody has their own childhood memories that they can't easily forget it. 
Childhood memories are some of our most precious memories we will ever have and it’s just not only our individual memories, it also can be our friendship memories. There are two types of memories, it can be the best memories but sometimes it also can be our bad memories that unforgettable. By this post we try to bring those memories of our childhood back. And if you are the person who was born in late 90's then we sure you will surely understand what we are talking about.
As we were a child, many activities we create to entertain ourselves especially the village child.
For example:-



"The Game of Marbles"

This game has become a daily routine for the village child, especially boys. It’s requires three to five players. This game needs a lot of marbles and placed in a circle that has been drawn on the ground. The player with the most marbles will be the winner. This game requires a smart planning to remove the marbles from the circle. Every single marbles as we won during that time will be remembered until the end.

There are also has games that require teamwork in order to win the game. For example:-




"Tarik Upih"

The name of this game we called "tarik upih". The name of this game can't translate into English Language because it can eliminate the implicit meaning of the game. This game requires two or more players. The big body will pull the small body, who reached the line first her win. The advantages of this game between the other games are it will teach us how to communicate with each other and will strengthen the ties of friendship. The first time I played this game, I had a swelling on my ass because bumping into rocks. Then I did not play for the next day. After the swelling began to recovered, I continued to play.

In addition, there are also games that nurturing spirit of to arrest thieves. For example:-

"Police and Thieves"

The name of this game, we called police and thieves because the police must catch the thieves. Before the game begins, players who want to play have to make a circle and one would choose to be said that the police and thieves by singings. The lyric is:-

"police and thieves,
one to jaga,
polis mati pencuri jaga"

As I was child, I don't have any gadget such as smartphone, tablet, laptop or anything else to entertain ourselves. Therefore, I just watched the cartoon from the television to make my day. It was the favourite thing with which I can spend my complete day. Whether it was Tom & Jerry, The Power Rangers, Popeye the Sailor Man, or The Pingu Show, I love them all and I'm going to miss to watch them. 


The best part of it would be the memories that we made during our school time and it might not be done by this upcoming generation. For example:-


We play this game while waiting for the teacher in class. This is an easier and a fun game which is we just need to beat the opponent eraser with our eraser. After winning the game, the opponent must give their eraser to the winner for the prizes.




Sometimes, the memory just not created by the games, it is also created by our special experience during the school time. For example, during the school time, we must have a girlfriend or boyfriend that we like back in the days. And the least we can do would be write her a love letter or received it from someone.


"Love Letters"
I sent this love letters to my partners to communicate with each other. This is because we don’t have the technology to do so during my school time.



After memorising all these childhood memories, I think childhood was more fun. Do remind me of anything which I forgot to mention in comments. If this article reminded you of your childhood, please share it with others.

 “Maybe.. there is no such thing as the best dad. Only the one who loves you more than anything.”


"There are no perfect fathers, but a father will always love perfectly".
