The Students Do Copy Paste , Why??

Assignments? Hit it off with Google. See, that’s the problem of people nowadays especially students. When the deadline comes you will use all your powers to pass it.So, as a students that knows about technologies  will realized all the way. Admit it, as a student your mentor or teacher ask you to do a research or an essay about something you have learned in today’s lesson so at home you remember your assignment and as a good student you will do your assignment in order to pass but the sad thing is you want to interact with your facebook friends, twitter followers and see what’s in trend right now so you hit it off with google, type your worst nightmare “blah blah blah” and the answers right there in front of your eyes and when it appears, hit right mouse click search for copy, open an ms. word then paste it. (TOPIC SENTENCE)
First,  Students who work outside school (some up to 20 hours per week) or have heavy class loads may decide there is not enough time to do the assignment properly.Second, Students finds it that the web is the shortest and the best way to solve their worst problems for searching and copy-pasting is as easy as a 6 year old child can do and doing that it will only take less time to do other things they want to do.Third, A student uninterested in an assignment may be more likely to plagiarize. Allowing students to select topics or using real-world data/examples may add incentive for a student to complete the assignment as intended. Fourth,  Habitual cheating and cutting corners at school can be a sign that a person has the mindset that "the rules don't apply to me". That kind of thinking could lead to more serious problems in adult life, even deviant or criminal behavior.Fifth, There are several sources of fear. One is that students may feel ashamed to fail, especially in terms of family expectations. It should be noted that it is more “honorable” to receive a low grade than to be caught cheating or plagiarizing.Other students may feel their writing or research skills are so weak, that they can only pass the course if they buy a paper written by someone else. Clear guidelines may help students put their skills in perspectiveThen, students may claim that they are unable to state the content of a source as well as the original.  In that scenario, instructors may wish to explain that being able to rephrase a concept is important for the assignment as well as for learning overall.Sixth, Of course, some students do copy paste because they feel it’s easier to copy from someone else than do the work themselves. One strategy for these students is to remind them of long-term consequences. Another strategy is to structure assignments so that copy paste becomes more work than doing the research. (SUPPORTING SENTENCE)
Finally,Using modern technology and easy access through the cyber web we are all encouraged, no, we are programmed that if we want to know something or if we want to have an easy task we just have to hit the web, google it, search for anything and copy -paste it to the Microsoft Word. Even though there is an act or law regarding in copying and posting other works may it be professional or amateur this is really happening and reality is few people are capable of applying it in their lives. .” Easy task isn’t it? But what lies here is that this is the real example that , internet is helpful, educational and easy access communication but internet creates a global problem despite of maturity content they teach students to be lazy, to copy and to forget their own identity. Internet swallows one’s personal being and creating a world problem culture, the Copy -Paste Culture.So,reminding students of the consequences if they’re caught will help students see that copy paste really is not a “solution. (CONCLUDING SENTENCE)
