Today you type up your short essay in response to the prompt handed out last Thursday. Here it is:
Think about the difference between "having" an idea, "using" an idea, and "stealing" an idea. Do you “own” your ideas? How should this be enforced?
Come up with a statement reflecting how you think we should treat the ideas of others, and then support your thesis with two or three paragraphs. Use specific, interesting examples to back up your views.
You might focus on the issue in school, on the internet, or on a specific industry.
You might also consider specific types of ideas: music, inventions, films, books or software. Don’t try to cover it all.
Turn in your daybooks.
Homework:
1. This essay must be turned in at the beginning of class tomorrow.
