Academic integrity and plagiarism are sensitive subjects for all kinds of writers. I believe that one's right to what they have written should be upheld and they should be able to dictate how and when it is used by others. When using someone else's writing, one should give proper credit to that person for the ideas or facts expressed in that writing. Academic integrity is upholding these standards. Plagiarism is copying another's work intentionally. However, we can run into problems defining plagiarism when someone inadvertently writes a sentence in the same format as someone else previously did. As humans, our minds often think and express ideas alike, so the chances of someone writing the same thing as someone else are quite high. There are only so many ways that one can express an idea in the English language.
