Something is plagiarism if one takes material from another source and uses it without pointing toward that source, thus making it appear that it is originally written.
1. No, this is not plagiarism since she herself is the original writer, thus she is not stealing content from anybody else.<span>
2. According to Casey Berry of Sciences Ltd., "Only 6% of students wash their hands after class." This first choice is not plagiarism, since the student has cited the researcher Casey Berry, and has enclosed the directly copied statement in quotation marks. In contrast, the second choice mentions "a recent study" without any direct mention of who did the study, and it copies the conclusion verbatim without using quotation marks.
3. This is not plagiarism, since she places a hyperlink to the source, thus acknowledging that what she has written is not her own original material. However, this is considered bad practice, to simply link to a source without describing what it has done or which parts specifically you have taken from it. You would not probably be sued in court for plagiarism, but it is still advisable to describe what the source has done.
4. No, this is not plagiarism. He has used quotation marks for direct quotes. The paraphrased information does not need quotation marks. Hyperlinks and attributions have been provided for each, so there are no issues with this kind of writing.
5. Yes, this is plagiarism. The BlogMutt writer got information from another post (which may or may not have been original material, we do not know), and did not attribute that post. Furthermore, this write-up is for a customer, not merely for discussion in forums, so pretending that the information on the post is his own is not only plagiarism, but it is also business dishonesty as he is stealing someone's work and selling it to a customer as his own.</span>
Answer and Explanation:
Arnold lived in the Victorian era roughly in England and it was said to be the period of the industrial revolution and immense technological advancement as well as social change in which Arnold was writing right on the brink between the old stable England and the new modern faced paced industrial England which was quickly expanding.
'Dover Beach' is about the uncertainty of this period of change in which he talks about the alienation which comes from the new era, where before the industrial revolution people worked together and things happened at a slower pace, whereas with the industrial revolution machines began taking the jobs of people, and things were being mass produced and in the work force there really wasn't much unity.
Arnold and much of England was therefore terrified by this new England and the uncertainty that arose from the great changes that were happening.
The choice of this phrase has a paradoxical meaning in a way that Bartleby refuses to do the task asked from him and the expression of this rejection. It is a refusal, but at the same time it is a polite refusal because even when his boss asks again "You will not?", he answers again with "I prefer not". The phrase emphasizes Bartleby's passive resistance. The different use of the phrase, of course could have had a different effect in the story. It might cause a different demonstration and a different ending for the story. The boss could have replied differently because the refusal would be not polite then. However, the choice is intentional because of the development of the story. Therefore, it is suitable in its own way.
