Measures to prevent Plagiarism
We should take the following measures to avoid Plagiarism:
We should always mention the source of information. The process of giving credit to the
author of the information and mentioning the source of information is known as citation. By
giving citation, we can avoid the issue of Plagiarism.
We should use quotation marks to write the word or lines written by someone else.
We should rephrase the content as per our requirement to avoid Plagiarism.
Another important way to avoid Plagiarism is to include a reference page at the end of the
document. On this page, we can mention the links or sources from where we have taken
information.
Clickipedia
Reference page is the last page of any document which lists all the source you used while
collecting information.
Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is the use of electronic media such as smartphones, computers and tablets to
harass or attack a person. It is also known as online bullying. The examples of cyberbullying are:
Emotionally hurting other’s feelings by making fun of them on a public platform.
Sending inappropriate E-mail and text messages to insulting others.
Posting photos of others on public portal without asking them.
Sending threatening message to others and blackmailing them.
Measures to Stop Cyberbullying
Measures which we can take to protect ourselves from being a victim are as follows:
Be careful about sharing private information with others online as this could be shared with
or seen by people with malicious intent.
Don’t disclose your personal information like address, phone number and school name
online with unknown people.
It’s really important to know what to share and with whom to share. You should strictly
follow this while using social media and Internet.
All Social Networking sites like Facebook, Twitter have privacy settings which allow us to
control who sees our post. So, we should always review privacy settings.
Don’t stay quiet and don’t protect the bully. You must speak out to your parents, teachers
or anyone else you are comfortable with.
