Plessy vs. Ferguson was a Supreme Court case that took place in 1896. It all started when Homer Plessy, a man who is 1/8th African American, was asked to move from his seat in the all white section of a train car. Plessy refused to move since he had bought a seat in this section. He was promptly arrested for his refusal to abide by this law.
Homer Plessy would go on to change this law saying that it was unconstitutional. His lawyer argued that this was a violation of his 14th amendment rights. However, the Supreme Court ruled against Plessy. The majority opinion from the Supreme Court stated that this did not violate the 14th amendment as long as the facilities for blacks and whites were "separate but equal."
This ruling drastically changed American society, as other businesses and facilities became segregated by race. These laws would last for almost half a century in the United States.
Since we don't have the video let's talk generally about what is plagiarism and how to avoid it. Remember to watch the video and improve the paragraph below.
Answer:
Plagiarism is a form of intellectual stealing. It happens for example when someone steals another's way of organizing ideas in a text, that is when an entire paragraph or page is copied exactly or only a few words or phrases are different but the overall organization is the same.
To plagiarize is to pretend that someone's else ideas are yours. This can be done like the example above, when a part of a text is entirely reproduced exactly like the original or only with slight changes, or when a text is not copied at all but the idea it presents is not from the author's but someone else's.
Plagiarism can be done on purpose or because of a lack of skills. Many students plagiarize ideas because they haven't yet learned how to properly study and cite their sources for studying. When we are studying, all of our sources of information must be directly cited on the final texts, as must be the authors we read, and whose arguments we agree with and are using in our homework.
