IM BUSY! Is it an excuse?


The topic regarding plagiarisms has been too controversial because of the most recent issue of Manuel Pangilinan where he was unable to quote a part of his speech.

Therefore, is having a busy schedule really an excuse of committing plagiarism?
You might be busy from work or from school, fatigued over the entire day working, and creating and making new ideas. That we tend to commit the sin of plagiarism. We might not be too wary about it but sometimes we does.

Well, I personally am guilty of committing Plagiarism, since I find it exhausting to create everything from scratch and to re-edit and keep on editing that sometimes your not even sure if what your doing is right.One more thing is when you feel like its time pressure and you were force to meet a certain goal at a specific time.That is when you thought that  copying from other people's work would be better.  Like what was stated by Roy Peter Clark,
“Lack of time is the enemy of responsible judgment. A 24-hour news cycle with more reporters in their chairs than out on the street will lead inevitably to this kind of abuse”.

but we must always have to place into consideration the time and effort other people are  entailing while they does the same thing.You see to copy else’s work or to get ideas from other people is definitely not a bad thing. We even sometimes have the same ideas. But what we tend to forget is to acknowledged them for helping us with a specific article or what.

So upon copying info. and data we must also take great responsibility upon doing it so.
