    "Where the Jobs Are: STEM Fields" by Linda Rosen is informative because the author provided statistical information that really made you more aware and have a better understanding of job employment data. For example, "The demand for STEM skills extends well beyond STEM-specific jobs, and the number of jobs requiring a STEM background is expected to have grown 17 percent between 2008 and 2018, far faster than the 10 percent growth projected for overall employment." Also, it may help students who are stuck on what degree to pursue. They may want to major in science, technology, engineering and mathematics because, like Rosen said, "Even in a tough economy, STEM is where the jobs are. " Linda Rosen's main argument is that if you pursue a career in a field of science, technology, engineering and/or mathematics you will have a better chance of actually being employed after receiving your degree rather than unemployed, versus those with a degree in any other field.…

    No plagiarism detected We were a high strung group of kids and more often than not my teacher would walk into class with us in tow crying our eyes out for what ever reason. Whether we were stressed out or just having a bad day we never failed to cry at least once a week in AP World History class. Because of this my wonderful teacher came up with a solution.

    All information required a certain "price of acquisition" for the person expressing an idea, article, book, video, song, program, etc. As I research, I often remind myself that the "price of acquisition" in the original work of others might have been paid in research, education, skill development, interviews, relationships or a myriad of other disciplines. One of the first ways I insulate my own writing from plagiarism is to remember that I am paying my own "price" to create this intellectual property. I owe it to each individual who is informing/influencing my writing (through my research of their work) to honor their hard work in the form of citation.…

    Goshgarian explains the definition of plagiarism in the writing community and its serious effects in the writing community, and states: “If you fail to acknowledge your sources or let it appear that someone else’s work is your own, you are sabotaging the exchange of scholarly information. (272). When critical readers come across an argument that has been plagiarized, it makes it very obvious for them the unreliability of both the argument and, more importantly, the author. The author can no more be a convincing or reliable narrator, but instead, his argument unacceptable. Knowing about plagiarism helps critical readers and thinkers in understanding what arguments are completely unacceptable in reliability, no matter how accurate the supporting evidences might be.…

    A common example of plagiarism is paraphrasing a work and passing it off as one’s own thoughts or ideas. This is an example of plagiarism because although one may have not used another persons exact words, he or she did take someone else’s ideas without giving them credit for them. A less common example of plagiarism occurs when a student submits a paper or assignment to two different classes, thus satisfying two different assignments without the permission of the professor (PPT).Other examples include, permitting one’s work to be submitted by another individual whom is passing it off as their own work, turning in someone else’s test as ones own, and blurring the line between one’s own ideas and words from another source (BSU). Plagiarism is a serious offense that is not taken lightly by the NCAA or the college that student attends.

    When I was notified of the inadvertent ethical violation, I was mortified. Not because of any consequence necessarily, but because of the mere idea that my integrity or moral beliefs would be questioned. I did not mean to imply that those ideas belonged to anyone besides who I cited, albeit incorrectly. I could not believe that I allowed myself to make such a simple but catastrophic mistake. How is it that I came to the decision that the reference should be cited it parenthesis when clearly it should have been quoted?…
