Appropriation v plagiarism

Appropriation and plagiarism are basically the same things. The internet definition for plagiarism is “the practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as ones own.” Appropriation is when you take someones something for your own use, without the owners permission. Both of these concepts are stealing. Whether it is stealing a person’s idea or stealing someone’s physical object, it is stealing. You should never do either of these things, both on and off campus.
