preview of the answer…

Plagiarism arises when an individual uses information belonging to another person without acknowledging the source. Although plagiarism is reported mostly in learning institution, instances of plagiarism are also widespread in the workplace and community. In many organizations, employers emphasize the need for workers to maintain originality on whatever activities they engage in (Scarry & Scarry, 2013).
