Q1.

I think the rule students break most often is “Thou shalt not appropriate other people’s intellectual output.”

In other words, a lot of students copy information or pictures from the internet without giving credit to the original source. It usually happens when doing school projects or writing essays because it’s so easy to find things online and just paste them into your work.

Q2.

I think this happens because many students don’t really understand what plagiarism means or why it’s a big deal. Some people think it’s fine to copy something if it’s on the internet. Others do it because they’re in a hurry or don’t feel confident writing something in their own words. Sometimes students just don’t realize that using someone else’s work without credit is a form of stealing.

To fix this problem, schools could teach students more about digital ethics and how to properly cite sources. Teachers can show examples of how to give credit and explain why it’s important to create your own work. Using plagiarism checkers can also help students learn from their mistakes. Most of all, students should understand that doing their own work helps them learn and feel proud of what they create.
