Avoiding Plagerism

Avoiding Plagiarism

For avoiding plagiarism I have chosen to use ends based and cared based as the two out of three primary schools of ethics. With these two I will be able to tell you the similarities and differences between the two solutions for the topic. I will also be able to tell you how to use these two in real life dilemmas and if Aristotle would approve of my chosen solutions.

I have chosen ends based due to the fact that we get the fulfillment of finishing the assignment even when we are using someone else’s work to call our own. You want people to believe that you put in the time and effort to finish the assignment, even when there are consequences for using someone else’s work. I also used care based due to the fact that it asks you to make a decision based on what you want, then if it was someone else. Ask yourself if you were in the position to get your homework done by someone else would you do it? If it was one of your friends asking your advice, what would you tell them?

The similarity that I see between the two solutions topics are that how it affects you if you were the one to do it. The differences between the two is that no matter if there is a little plagiarism the ends based would do it just because they can get a good grade on it. They are happy with the end result because later on down the line they might get caught but that doesn’t mean it’s now. They could already have the job they want or the position that they wanted and if they proved that they are capable of doing that job. They probably will get to keep it or might not, they just really don’t care. With cared based, the person sees how doing the plagiarism themselves would affect them then see how it would affect someone else. Like the saying “Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes” they would do onto others how they would want to. They care about what others feel or think because they want that to be reciprocated to them.

On these two schools of ethics, I do believe that they...
