Activity homework-plagiarism

In the United States, Plagiarism is a seriously bad thing. Either to China, but China did not pay enough attention on this aspect. Even though many students did plagiarism, the results were not really worse than we imagined. After 1980, people begin to treasure the property of the writers. Some news paper published several rules about the footnotes’ uses. The rules were not formal. People just wanted to check the original text more conveniently, to give investigator more information and to introduce the background. In some professional books, writers paid attention on the footnotes. As contacting with the world, people in China begin to think how important the property of the writer is. In 2006, China decided to accede to The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
In Chinese, we use quotation marks in five different ways. First, when we use someone’s ideas or words, we use quotation marks. When someone is talking, his words should be used with quotation marks. Second, when some words have special meaning, we use quotation marks. Third, when the words are important, we use quotation marks. Fourth, you should use single quotation marks in double quotation marks. Fifth, sometimes we use quotation marks to mean the antonym.
When we compare the rule about a writer’s citation of sources in China and the United State, most of the rules are similar. I do not find some information about how important a bibliography or list of references is. I know in some books there are bibliographies and lists of references, but I do not think all books have them. Nowadays, China still needs to enact more laws to complete the rights of writers. When I came to the United State, I realized the reason for price of a book here is much more expensive than that in China. One reason I think is America pays more attention on the property of writers than China.
