Today when watching the movies in
English class I realized what copying was. Throughout the whole process of
learning to write in school we learned that if you took someone’s idea that was
copying, and to make it okay you had to source your resource. Today from the
videos we watched I learned most things that we think are original are
not. These things are movies, books, music, products, and so on. When I listen
to old music such as Led Zeppelin I always thought it was original, and boy was
I wrong. I was so surprised to learn most of the songs were slightly copied in
one way or another. Another thing that surprised me was Star Wars using a form
of copying. I never thought this film would takes ideas from other movies! I
guess the films we watched to today just proves our world is formed around
copying other ideas and products. Although we do copy others products I learned
sometimes it’s not on purpose. When song writers add background music to a song,
they may not know they are using music from an older song. Sometimes in our
brains we think it is original, but it is not. So overall today I learned we
have to be careful about copying in our papers for school. We have to learn to
use more of our own ideas, rather than copying from others. Although copying is
a broad word, this meaning we can use others ideas. We still can’t take the complete
idea; we have to put it into our own words. This is what I took from the
videos, I hope everyone seen it the same way as me.
