History

Abstract Karl Marx observed the large gap between workers’ and serfs’ quality of life compared to the aristocrats running European countries from France to Russia. He theorized that viewing workers as commodities necessary to produce profits was causing deep angry feelings of alienation in the working class. The pamphlet written by Marx and Engel called The Communist Manifesto (1849). Marx’s work grew from Hegel’s theories about alienation in order to apply to society in the decade of the 1840s (Panich & Leys, 1998). Contemporary authors have determined that the feelings of alienation in 1848 were similar to what ...

Originating from the Latin word plagiarius (kidnapper), plagiarism refers to using the work of others and presenting it as one’s own, i.e. without acknowledging the real author. It is a grievous offence and academic institutions, all over the world, seriously punish such academic dishonesty. Although mostly plagiarism is intentional, it is possible to plagiarize accidentally as well.

However, in both cases, plagiarism represents an intellectual theft and thus, it is punishable. Plagiarism undermines one’s credibility and reputation, ...
