Nobody can deny that it should be very easy to do a research for student in China. The reason is because most teachers just want to get your homework as the result but not to consider the origin of them. Maybe the situation is being changed in China, in my opinion, it is totally different in America.
In America, The plagiarism is treated more seriously than that in China. For example, for my experience in America, I did not know how serious the plagiarism is in America when I just came in America. In a writing homework, I just used some sentences from the Internet and did not mention the origins of them. What is more, I just copied them into my article and never changed them at all. For a result, the teacher punished me very seriously. From that time, I started to recognize this situation in America. Additionally, in newspapers or every kind of magazines, no matter how short the article is, they must type on the authors' names or their origins. I am so glad to see that. As people focus on protecting the copyright, more and more articles are being published by the talent authors. Also, everybody is honest for their study or anything else.

Yes, I agree with you. In China, the teachers always care about the sorce. But in America, teacher want to you use the correct way to write whic includes the fomat, grammer, clear topic and support ideas. I think it is good for us to write. But I can't say Chines writing is bad. Becasue of the long histroy, chinese writing has many styles.
John,
I like that you mention copyright laws. Many students forget that writers should be acknowledged for their contributions to society.
Great post!
I didnt know that about china, they are really strict about pagarism in America. Sometimes it makes it more difficult to write a good paper because you are worried about what you can and cannot write down.
Wow thats interesting, i figured in china it would be very strict but you say different. Well whatever the case is, i think its great that you like being pushed by your teachers to do your best. And yea, plagerism is pretty serious lol but its cool that your learning how to cite stuff and all that good stuff. Its really neat to hear the views of a foriegn student..no disrespect
