COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY2
Section 1
Question 1
(a) The term ‘plagiarism’ is defined as the process of copying the ideas of other people
and incorporating them into an individual’s writing. It can also be defined as an deliberate act of
deceiving the academic tutor based on submission of plagiarized content, which could not be
claimed as the original work (Helgesson and Eriksson 2015). During such works, the person who
is directly copying the ideas of others does not give credit to the original works.
(b) An example showing the ways in which the incorporation of material from other
sources could be made and avoided from an accusation of plagiarism is:
The Original Content – Joe served cake and tea because they are delicious and her
guests loved them.
The New Content – In order to impress her guests, Joe had served tea and cake as she
considered them to be delicious.
Question 2
The two exemplar ways in which the digital technologies have eroded the values of
personal privacy are:
1. There has been a significant impact made by the use of digital technologies in the form
of swipe cards, surveillance cameras and internet searches. With this, users often leave a trail of
data for others to gather, merge, arrange, analyze and further sell without the consent or
knowledge of the user.
