Achievement 03; About avoiding plagiarism and being organic by @shuvra.

I am starting today's writing with best wishes and heartfelt love to everyone. I hope everyone is well and healthy. Indeed by looking at the title of my post you understand what I want to talk about. Yes, today I will speak of plagiarism-free and completely original or organic posts.

We write more or less constantly. Be it on steemit or any outside work. How many of us have written the entire post on our own, or on our own while writing this article? Do we really write plagiarism-free or organic posts?
But before talking about this, we must first know what "Plagiarism" actually is.

By plagiarism, I mean stealing and using other people's things. To be fair,
Plagiarism is when we use the work, ideas, writing or content of others as our own, without giving them or those people credit. Plagiarism is completely dishonest and against ethical standards.. Plagiarism can have serious consequences, such as damaging your credibility and reputation. Finally, there is no difference between plagiarism and stealing content.

I think I am a writer, I have written an article after thinking a lot. It took me a lot of hard work, patience, and creative thinking to write it. Now you continued my article under your own name without giving me any credit or mention. This is plagiarism.

Again, considering you are a reputable content creator, I copied your hard-earned content and continued it under my own name. How would you feel then? Would that not be dishonest? Moreover, viewers or readers will also be treated unfairly, because they will not know who the real owner of the content is. Or who created this content with his intelligence?

But why do people use plagiarism?
There are many reasons for using plagiarism, here are some important reasons:-

1. Lack of understanding: We often do not understand what is plagiarism? Or think we have been given an assignment where we have to write on a certain topic. Many times I don't know what we will write about, what is it basically? That's when we copy that thing from others and continue it as our own.

2. Give credit where credit is due: Many times we need other content for different writings or content. Let's say I am writing math or math-related content or health-related writing. In all these writings, we will need many opinions or proven information from others or experts. We will use them but will certainly not make the mistake of giving them credit by mentioning their names.

3. Laziness: In some cases, we may be aware of plagiarism and how to avoid it, but simply choose to take the easy way out instead of doing the work ourselves.

4. Pressure to succeed: We use plugins hoping to achieve quick and short-cut success. For example, if I have a YouTube channel, I do not create any content myself with the aim of getting quick views or virality, but all the videos that are already in the rank continue to be my own content on my channel, which is a crime.

Plagiarism users, I would call a type of mental illness, due to which their brains always fail to show normal development.
So far we know what plagiarism is and why it is used. Now we will know, how we can write a complete organic post without using plagiarism.
Here are some tips for writing complete and organic posts without using plagiarism:

1. Use your own words: Always use your own words. If your language or your words come from the mind, it will easily touch the mind of another person. By doing that, the audience you will create will always be fans of your writing or your content.
2. Give credit where credit is due: Many times we need other content for different writings or content. Let's say I am writing math or math-related content or health-related writing. In all these writings, we will need many opinions or proven information from others or experts. We will use them but will certainly not make the mistake of giving them credit by mentioning their names.
3. Add our own commentary: To make a post 100% organic, it must be created by us, and written with our own intelligence or thoughts. If we can create or express our own thoughts and thoughts beautifully, only then will we create a community of our own. And our name and fame will spread.
4. Use quotes sparingly: If we use a quote from another source, we should put it in quotation marks and give credit to the original author.
   By following these tips, we can write a complete and original post that engages our audience and avoid plagiarism.

Plagiarism is a crime, just like stealing someone's stuff is a crime. So should each of us, stay out of the way? Do not commit a crime yourself and warn someone else.

Moreover, if we observe a little, we can understand that if we create plagiarism-free content, we can create an audience or followers like ourselves, like our own minds. Who will love me and my thinking, and creativity through my content? No fear of being caught plagiarizing there, no one can say "you plagiarized it from there".

Example

Plagiarism is the fraudulent representation of another person's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work. Although precise definitions vary, depending on the institution, such representations are generally considered to violate academic integrity and journalistic ethics as well as social norms of learning, teaching, research, fairness, respect, and responsibility in many cultures. It is subject to sanctions such as penalties, suspension, expulsion from school or work, substantial fines, and even imprisonment.

From Wikipedia Source

I have collected the above content from Wikipedia and mentioned it below the content. If I didn't mention where the content came from or any kind of credit at the end or beginning of the content, then it would be copy content or plagiarism. Many times we see sources or links above or below while reading the content. Adding a source or link to content is a very important thing. Through this, a reader can see where the content is collected from. If he wants to click on the source or link, he can easily go to that site and see the rest of the content. So we should add links or sources to our content. Only then it will no longer be considered copy content.

We all, therefore, create plagiarism-free content and develop our own ideas. We try to create space in the minds of others through our work. That's where our worth lies.
Thanks to steemit, for giving me an opportunity to share my views on such a platform.

I have read and understood the Steemit Community Steemit Protocol and will try to comply to the best of my ability.

Thank you all, for being with me in love.
