Plagiarism

I think that it is important that we all cite our sources so that we can give the proper credit to the original creator. I feel that they should be acknowledge especially if they are the ones doing all the foot work.
I am unsure as to what I would do if someone stole my work for their own. I know that I would be highly furious with that person. I would probably do my best to discredit any work that they do since we cannot be sure that it was their own idea and not someone else.
I have experienced doing all the foot work for someone only to have them say that it was their own. I did not sit back and allow it to happen though. I was able to present everything in the manner that the presentation was setup on. When the other person was asked to elaborate, they couldn't because they had none of the research. So of course they failed and I got an A because I had done all the work.

I do feel that the internet does blur some of the original authors. I mean I could go on google and type in a subject then go on ask and type the same thing. I will get the exact same article but with a different author. Any one on the internet can proclaim to be a real source. There aren't any guidelines really setup for that type of thing on the internet. So sad really.
