Plagiarism is the wrongful appropriation and stealing and publication of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions and the representation of them as one's own original work. Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics.
Being discharged from a job is not the same as being laid off, although one can morph into another, depending on the circumstances. In either case, there are laws that may provide financial help while youâre off work, and offer you protection if your employer acted negligently in releasing you from employment.
Being discharged from your job means youâve been fired. This is a permanent condition where your employer has severed employment dealings with you. In most states, employees are hired under the term âAt-Will Employment,â which gives employers the right to end your job with or without cause.
