Plagiarism is very serious problem thats growing in colleges and schools everywhere. Plagiarism usually starts early around elementary school for most kids, with the kids next to them helping the answer a question on a test. It grows custom to kids and which leads them be accustomed to plagiarism and unknowing of its severity. Technology though is helping deal with plagiarism and catch students in the act. New technology scans students papers and compares them to all others on the database and of the internet and if enough sentences or fragments come back similar it will show it to the teacher. But at the same time the internet helps stop plagiarism it also enables it. Many students take work off the internet and put into there own work without mentioning the author. This happens all the time and on written essays it can almost be impossible to detect. Also many websites sell term papers and essays to students. All the students need is a mailing address and a credit card and they can pass all there classes.
