Plagarism

According to the Marriam-Webster online dictionary the term plagiarism is defined an act to steal and pass off someone else's work as your own. Also to present a new idea as an original. With this definition we are all plagiarizers the only difference is that someone thought that there words meant enough to claim them as their own. 

With this definition Lucinda plagiarized the phone complainers words. Lucinda used someone else's words to inspire someone else. If we use the definition from the online dictionary than Lucinda did plagiarize but in this instance I believe Lucinda doesn't have to give credit to the complainer who spoke those words first because those words didn't mean anything to the complainer. The complainer did not come up with the lyrics to the words but simply inspired someone who inspired someone else. 

America is just a bunch of selfish plagiarizers that think they are always right. You can't read the newspaper or listen to the news without someone suing someone for stealing their original idea when in fact that original idea was not formed by them first. America needs to take a chill pill and use others works to inspire themselves and forget about suing everyone because they stole a few of the same words or tunes.
