In
Trip Gabriel's "Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in the Digital Age",
he empathizes the fact that many students part of the digital generation do not
understand what it really means to plagiarize. Gabriel provides many examples
from very prestigious colleges, where students had little to no idea that
simply paraphrasing something off the internet was considered plagiarism. His
purpose was to show readers that whether or not it seems like you are not plagiarizing
the lines are very thin when taking information from a website and making it
your own. By stating that, although many students do not know the rules, many
students knowingly cheat and plagiarize because they are lazy. The tone of
Gabriel was very informative and caring for the students of today's society. The
readers of this article can learn from Gabriel that lines are thin and to
always cite, because it is better to be safe than sorry.
