Why do students fall into the plagiarism trap? How does it hold a young person back on the journey toward self-reliance? Is it possible to “steal” material without knowing it? This program addresses the widespread ethical and legal problem of plagiarism, examining reasons used to justify content theft and the wide variety of forms it can take. Students and teachers talk frankly on-screen about their experiences with the problem and what leads some people to copy text or images from books, articles, Internet sites, and other students’ papers and projects. The program introduces writing and research skills that will enable viewers to steer clear of plagiarism, both intentional and unintentional.
