What kind of punishments can be appropriate to apply for plagiarism? Don't you ever think that Haley's result was very harsh? Compared to Haley's case, Jamal was not given any punishment, even though he absolutely plagiarized William's works. According to the video, his plagiarism was forgiven by William's permission. Does that mean people can copy other works if there is a permission? Then, Haley could not be punished if she had have permissions. I argue that Jamal should have been punished, even though there was William's permission; unless, many people would use other works with permissions. I also agreed with Umi's words that different punishments should be given by how severe mistakes were.

But don't you think that Jamal's act of plagiarism was less serious than Haley's, his first time? I do.
