Plagiarism in the academic world has become a pressing problem in many countries today. What are the causes of this problem? What are some possible solutions?

Plagiarism started to be an insanely popular issue in fields related to studies all over the world. There are numerous reasons and certain measures to be taken to resolve the problem. One of the main causes of the problem is the laziness of people. The majority of students at schools and universities do not have a desire to make any efforts for their projects.

Consequently

, they copy works of unfamiliar people posted on the internet but

then

problems can appear.

For instance

, a student who copied someone else’s work does not have an idea of how

this

was made. So if the professor asks questions about the work, a student can not be able to answer it and will fail. The solution for

this

is encouraging learners to create their own works by giving them either interesting themes to discover or

suggest

suggestions

to choose the topic they are into. Another reason is technologies to which everyone has access now. There are numerous websites with any information so you just need to copy lines and paste them into your project.

However

, there is a lack of powerful systems to detect plagiarism. Of course, if it is a project with information from Wikipedia, the system will recognize it. But,

for example

, if work was copied from a foreign site and

then

translated to the needed language, the chance of detecting becomes lower. To tackle

this

issue, lots of developments should be made in order to decline the level of copied works. Once a student is noticed cheating, he/she most likely will not do it

next

time. In conclusion, some people think it is hard to detect plagiarism,

although

, it is not impossible. In my opinion, responsibility for solving

this

problem lies on teachers as they need to inspire students, but unfortunately, they do not care about it.
