“How Students’ Copy
–Paste Phenomenon Happen”
In this modern era, technology is more
complex. Moreover, nowadays the information and the technology such as internet
which is provide us to get more information that we want easily. Unfortunately,
the advance of information and technology precisely break down Indonesia’s
education. In a fact, there are many students that finish their assignment by
doing copy-paste on the internet. They think that this way will easier for them
to finish their assignment. Whereas, this is a virus which may broke the
teenagers in this country. Moreover, it becomes one of culture in education of
Indonesia.
This behavior, always develop year by year in
teenager especially for students. Copy-paste activity or usually called as
“Plagiarism” is actually something bad which have to avoided by us for a better
behavior. The main factor of this case is computer. If we talk about computer,
copy-paste seems as a usual thing. But actually, it does not have any relation
with education at school because it can influence the students. Most of people
expect that the plagiarism of the students is the common activity. But remember,
if we look for it further, the result will show not only the doers which lose
out but also the victims of it.
We
often found the students come to the internet shop to do the assignments that
given by the teacher. For example, they are assigned to make a script speech, and
then they are looking for the example about it on the internet. When they have
found it, they copy it then print out. As the result, the assignment finishes
in fast without make by their-selves. This activity is not only happen at the
junior high school or senior high school but also in the undergraduate
students. That is all the copy paste phenomenon or plagiarism currently
happened. Ironically, they do it
consciously when their real duty is to create something which improved their
abilities and self-confidence. What will happen to our country in the future if
this condition happened continuously?
Another question is “why students do copy
paste?” There are many reasons that suppose someone do that. First, they do in order to finish their
assignment from the teacher easily and faster, because there are so many
assignments that given by teacher to them.
Furthermore, in their mind described that writing will not read
seriously by their teacher. They think teacher have no time to check it. Their
mind-set is “The important one is they submit their assignment”. Second, they don’t have enough
capability to do it by their own mind. They don’t have any idea in their mind
to do their assignment. So, “copy paste” is the best choice to save their
score. Third, they are lazy to think
or to write. They think that everything will be fine because they can copy
paste anything in internet freely. It includes their assignment. Fourth, they are in hurry condition, they
forget to do the assignments. It is also to minimize their time and energy. Fifth, Copy paste is easier than make
by their self because It is instant way. It will spend many times if they do by
their self. Sixth, Deadline of assignment.
Usually the deadline is on the top of them, so that they just make it faster. Seventh, they just follow their friends
who do so. At their mind, “Why do I have to make it by my own, if I can search
it easily? Don’t my friends do it at the same?”
Last but not least, to change bad habit of
students in copy paste need serious treatments. Of course, we may start from
ourselves. Just cross our heart that we will not do copy paste in our daily
activity and believe that we can do it by our own capability. In conclusion, as
a good student, we have to understand well that this is as a bad habit which
may break our future and culture.
