You see a really amazing new toy at the store and you think- I CAN MAKE THAT. You go home, you make it, and other kids also love it! You offer to make them one and sell it to them for three dollars... way cheaper than the store. Is this a form of plagiarism?
YES! Most items in the store are covered under patent law (Meaning they made it- they filed the patent and they are the OWNERS of the idea.). You need permission to make this item and sell it from the holder of the patent or you are breaking the law.

Tell me five kinds of materials that you can use in your research that require a citation.
Jayson Blair was a journalist who wrote for the New York Times. Starting in 1999, Blair wrote more than 600 articles in four years. He said he traveled all over the world to interview these people... but it was later discovered that he was lying about the travel and he used interviews that other reporters did to create his articles. Is this plagiarism?
YES. He quotes people he didn't actually interview and he also used articles printed by other papers. Big NO NO! He left his job extremely embarrassed and the newspaper began a strict fact-checking policy for reporters and editors.
