Hey, did you see that show on TV last night about people downloading music from the Internet?
No, I was busy with my research into students cheating at university.
What do you mean by cheating?
Plagiarism.
What's that?
Basically, it's when you use someone else's ideas or work and pretend it's your own work. There's nothing wrong with using other people's ideas or research, but you have to say where you got the ideas or information.
Uh-huh.
There was a famous case last year of a university Dean who had to resign when it came out that in a few books he'd written over 20 years ago there were some instances of plagiarism.
Oh yeah, I remember hearing about that. I thought they were being a bit tough on him. I mean, it was a long time ago.
Well, it's a pretty serious thing to do in academic circles. It's intellectual theft. It's nothing new, but it seems to have become much more common recently.
How can you tell?
Oh, a few surveys have been done on it. One survey in the US found that back in 1969, 58% of school students let others copy their work, but this had risen to 97% in 1989.
嗨,你看昨晚那檔節(jié)目了嗎?關(guān)于人們從網(wǎng)上下載歌曲的節(jié)目?
沒有,我在忙著我那關(guān)于大學里欺詐行為的論文呢。
你說“欺詐”是什么意思?
其實就是剽竊。
那又是啥?
簡單地說,就是你盜用別人的想法或作品,并假裝那是你的。其實使用別人的創(chuàng)意倒沒什么問題,但是你必須得說明你是從哪里獲得這個想法或信息的。
哦。
去年就有一個鬧得沸沸揚揚的例子。某大學的學院院長20年前發(fā)表的幾部著作中被發(fā)現(xiàn)有剽竊的痕跡,為此他被解雇了。
哦,我記得我聽說過。不過我覺得學校里對他的處置有點過,畢竟事情已經(jīng)過去那么久了。
喂,在學術(shù)界剽竊是很嚴重的。這屬于知識產(chǎn)權(quán)盜竊啊。其實剽竊也已經(jīng)不是什么新鮮事兒了,但最近似乎越來越發(fā)猖獗。
怎么說?
喏,有人做過一些調(diào)查。其中一個發(fā)現(xiàn),美國在1959年的時候,有58%的學生讓他人抄自己的作業(yè),而這個比例到1989年的時候已經(jīng)飆升到97%了。
