Essays / Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty - can't come up with a thesis/argument [5]

Plagiarism is one form of academic dishonesty, although it cannot be assumed that all plagiarism occurs merely because a student is aiming to cheat. Discuss.

I've read a lot of sources relating to plagiarism. I have a good understanding of the topic, but I can't seem to come up with a thesis and argument. Everytime it seems too general and broad.

I'm trying really hard! This is my first essay ever

hey

thanks a lot for the reply it really helped me!

It actually made me do a bit more thinking and I actually came up with a thesis.

Despite Universities trying to prevent plagiarism by implementing TurnItIn, offering teacher help, open discussions and paraphrasing and citation skill practice, students and their lazy attitude towards plagiarism is showing minimum effort to cooperate to stop the problem.

I'm not quite sure about it though. Do u guys think its a valid thesis or not? I need some feedback please

Thank you!
