Hi Satti. Mohammed

In response to your blog on plagiarism I believe that using someone else’s work does help one develop their own ideas. It is permissible to use the piece as a guide or as a reference. However I also agree with you on what you say about passing it off as your own. To that extent it is wrong as someone else has worked hard to create the piece of work and by passing it off as your own, you are taking the credit for something you have not done. With plagiarism comes the risk of being caught and once someone has been caught for plagiarism, the consequence for their actions are likely to be dire depending on what stage of the academic ladder one is on.
