Plagiarism The Wild Blue, The Men And Boys Who Flew The...

What is plagiarism? Well Webster dictionary 2015 says, â€Å"the practice of taking someone s else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own.† That’s self explanatory on its own but to go more in depth with what plagiarism we should look at the history of what plagiarism is. The word derives from a couple of Latin rootsÍ ¾ plagiarius and plagiare. According to my sources plagiarism is a very ancient art and it is not a recent thing in our recent centuries. â€Å"Shakespeare even stole most of his story plots from Holinshed† says Stephen Moss (2005). Throughout my research I’ve came across many famous scandals of plagiarism. One being about Stephen Ambrose’s 2002 book The Wild Blue: The Men and Boys Who Flew the B ­24’s over Germany. This book heavily plagiarized a book from 1995 called Wings of Morning: The Story of the Last American Bomber Shot Down over Germany in World War II, by Thomas Childers who is a history professor from the University of Pennsylvania. Apparently Ambrose’s book took exact words from Childers book and did not credit him or source him one bit! This also isn’t the only time plagiarism was found in Ambrose’s books. As you can see this is a perfect example on how plagiarism works and the consequences of it. â€Å"One out of three high school students said that they have used the internet or other sources to plagiarize an assignment† Josephson Institute Center for Youth Ethics (2010).
