【正确答案】Reflection on Plagiarism
With the rapid development of the advanced technology and the fierce competition in the society, more and more scholars choose to plagiarize to meet their targets. Why do so many people, even some famous professors copy others' fruits?
Plagiarism is not a good thing because it violates copyright and misleads the young that they can realize their dreams without hard work. Plagiarism can have catastrophic consequences for one's career as a student. For one thing, their personal credibility is ruined because of plagiarism. For another thing, without effective research experiences, one is unlikely to acquire depth of analyses or originality of insights, both of which are indispensible parts of one's career development, whether in corporations, governments or academic organizations. Ultimately, the plagiarists themselves are to suffer. Once a plagiarist is found, he will be deprived of copyright and gain nothing from his "works". Also, the plagiarist must compensate the original author.
In order to find a way out of plagiarism, several measures could be taken. Firstly, we should strengthen morality education, helping more people know more clearly that honesty is a traditional Chinese virtue. Secondly, university authorities need to tighten rules and regulations to leave no plagiarists unpunished. Thirdly, the government should establish a strict supervising system for the reviewers and allocate more money for recruiting qualified reviewers.
All these measures will certainly reduce the number of academic plagiarism. But most importantly, to stifle plagiarism in the cradle is far better than to solve such a problem after it has taken place.
