The Plagiarism Panic of Harvard

There is yet another scandal of cheating, or better known as plagiarism. This time at Harvard University. Such cheaters are not only the students plagiarizing on tests but professors as well. These include a law professor by the name of Lawrence Tribe, Elizabeth Warren who is a former Harvard professor and is now a candidate of the senate in Massachusetts and another Harvard graduate and current historian, Doris Kearns Goodwin. So they said a small apology and it was left at that. No harm, no foul right? Wrong! Because of these plagiarists, students of Harvard now think they can do it and get away with it.

What is it about people thinking they can cheat and steal other peoples work and think it is alright to do so? It seems like no one thinks or writes original anymore. Why should anyone have an original thought with everything found on the Internet these days?

Think about it. Movies, music, art, books. It is all remade from the originals anymore. When was the last time anyone ever seen an original movie in the theaters? All of the movies out now are remakes from the originals. Can no one create original ideas anymore? It seems like the only thing that is original is rap music and the lyrics are rather explicit if you ask me. How about some originality people?
