Response to "Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in Digital Age"

In his article “Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in Digital Age” (2010), Trip Gabriel emphasizes how individuals, especially recent college students, are becoming more susceptible to plagiarism. Gabriel uses past examples and recent surveys to prove how plagiarism is becoming so widespread. His main purpose in writing this article is to gain awareness to individuals in order to prevent this “cheating”, and contribute to creative writing like it use to be before the digital age. Gabriel adds statements from other writers, who sound irritated when talking about the new creativity of writing, and it seem as though he is addressing the writers who lack their own creativity in their work.
