• Kenneth Goldsmith suggests that music and art are built on
plagiarism, and now the internet is making that possible for text.
What do you think of his philosophy and the implications of
“patch writing”?
• What makes some plagiarism “wrong” or “right”?

The point is…
No matter where you are, you will constantly need to assess the information around you
In order to be an informed consumer you should know how to evaluate the information you acquire, and what is happening to your own data
In order to support your own arguments you should know how to research your question and cite your sources

The wrong way to paraphrase:
Failure to Cite Source
Original
“They desire, for example, virtue and the absence of vice, no less really than pleasure and the absence of pain.”
Source: Mill, John Stuart. “Utilitarianism.” On Liberty and Other Essays. New York: Oxford University Press, 1998. Quote is from page 169.
Paraphrase
People want morality
just as much as they
want happiness.
The wrong way to paraphrase:
Lack of Significant Rewording
Original “To the young
American architects who made the pilgrimage, the most dazzling figure of all was Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus School.”
Source: Wolfe, Tom. From Bauhaus to Our House. New York: Farrar Straus Giroux, 1981. Quote is from page 10.
Paraphrase To young American
architects who went to
Germany, the most
dazzling figure was
Walter Gropius,
founder of the
Bauhaus School
(Wolfe 1981).
Example A
Original
Don't look for one of these tech heavyweights to knock out the other. Yet if history is any guide, Google's approach may win out over the long term. Recall that in the early 1980s Apple lost its lead in the PC market when Microsoft enlisted the aid of hordes of software developers and dozens of PC manufacturers. Now, if Google can marshal such a united front, Apple could again be swamped by the collective innovations.

History tells us that Google's approach may be successful over the long term. In the early 1980s Apple lagged in the PC market as Microsoft collaborated with software developers and dozens of PC manufacturers. Now, if Google would only summon a united front, Apple could again be swamped by the collective innovations (Burrows 2000).

Student
Google stands a chance of beating Apple if it can benefit from the pooled ideas of software developers and device manufacturers, following the strategy that Microsoft employed to Apple’s detriment in the early ‘80s.

Student
It is possible that in the battle of the “tech heavyweights” Google might eventually prevail over Apple if it follows the strategy that Microsoft employed to Apple’s detriment during the early ‘80s: collaborating, and innovating, with software developers and manufacturers (Burrows 2000, 25).
