Plagiarism

          Plagiarism is a big deal no matter what you're writing, how often you do it, when you do it, or where you do it. Taking someone else's words and saying that they were yours not only is bad to do, but is also kind of rude. How would you like it if you said a joke and someone took it and say they made it up? It is the exact same thing. 

          In my view yes it is very wrong, like at least say what website you got it from. I will admit that yes i have done this before, but that is also before i knew how wrong it really was. Now i at least list the websites that i use. I just can't believe that you would try to get away with it in college. They check your papers instantly now, especially in the higher colleges. No matter how good you think you are at trying to rearrange the words they will still pick it out. 

          This picture explains it all. When you plagiarize do you really feel good about yourself? No you feel good about yourself when you complete a paper that you wrote. All you get is that since of hope that your teacher doesn't find out that you did just copy and paste this. So just think before you copy that, is it really worth a 0? No nothing is worth that.

Spooky things happen everywhere

              Every country has their superstitions, but every countries are different. Like in America some of our biggest superstitions are the number 13, and black cats. Therefore China has to have their own don't they?

              One of Chinas big superstitions is being hit with a broom. It is said that if you hit someone with a broom, then the hitter has bad luck and will ruin their life. It is also said that if one had a dream about teeth or snow, then their parents are dead. Wow that would be awful if that would be true cause i have had dreams about snow before. So therefore people in China would automatically assume that my parents had passed away. Think about that for a second.

               Another pretty weird one that I kind of agree with is if a baby cries for no reason then a ghost or form of something is around. That is kind of like the superstition that we have, they say if you wake up in the middle of the night around 3 or so then someone is looking at you. Chavez told me once that a lot of superstitions happen in the Chinese culture.

              


                 I think that superstitions to a point can be true. I do believe in the ghost thing just because I have always believed in that type of thing. There are also a lot of superstitions that are just made up and don't mean anything, but some do have actual reasons behind them.
