When I was in Bachelor study, I have never known
that if you want to take some information from someone you have to mention that
from where you got them. I think that plagiarism is something very bad because
the perpetrator has stolen something very important from the person’s character
and when it detects a person becomes in a bad situation.
The first time when I was in Canada, I made a
presentation and I had two pictures which I have taken when I was in Saudi Arabia and
I posted them in my presentation. In the next day of my presentation, I found an
email from my teacher said that he want to meet togather in his office. I thought he
just need to know some information about my presentation or to asked me since I
was absent for three classes during the course. I met him in his office and he
started to ask me “from where did you got those pictures?” he asked.
I said I made them when I was in Saudi Arabia as I was a summer student in a big
company and I went to a desert over there for ten days. Finally he said sorry I
thought you get them from geology web site or somewhere since they are professional
pictures.
Try to do alone or with others, however, if you
need some information that you can’t do or they are not in your hand, you
should take permission form the owner to be in the sifty side.
