                One day the son of a middle class family went to his parents with a problem. He told them him and his girlfriend had recently broken up. They were so shocked because of how long they have been together. It has been nearly two and a half years. When they asked him to tell them what happened he was very hesitant. He seemed to be a bit embarrassed and refused to talk. Finally after a little convincing he gave in and told his parents. He said that him and his girlfriend were hanging out and went to the mall. As they were walking around all of these other girls had seen him and smiled and waved to him and he waved back. Well his girlfriend began to get a little jealous at all the attention he was getting and disliked how he smiled at them so she decided to say hi to the guys that were passing them and waved and smiled. Well this caused a sort of argument between the two. He continued in saying that after looking in a store for about an hour he got tired and walked out to sit down on a bench and relax his legs while his girlfriend kept on looking for clothes to buy. While he was sitting down his ex-girlfriend showed up and started to talk to him, he really didn’t want to talk to her but he wanted to be nice. As soon as his girlfriend seen this she freaked out instantly and they left. On the way home she kept on yelling at him and he told her that he had nothing to do with it and she was the one that was talking to him but she didn’t believe it. They decided they would break up. Well the parents have been through almost the same exact thing so they took him to the best music teacher there is. There he learned to play guitar in three days and mastered one love song. Then they went and got some flowers for him to give to her and a bag full of all kinds of candy. At about 6 o’clock his parents decided to drop him off at her house because that was the time that she just got home from a hard volleyball practice. Also on the way they picked up a movie for them. When they got there he started playing the guitar and she looked out of her window. After seeing who it was she ran downstairs hugged him and got the candy from him then they watched the movie all night.

                In the four videos I just watch I was really shocked. I didn’t realize how much stuff in this world was copied; I always assumed things as original. It goes way back when we realize how stuff just came about. I think that it is hard to say what is fair and what isn’t when it comes to plagiarism because yes somebody may have copied them but who did they copy? I never thought of things as of being built upon the base of ordinary. In order for everyone to become creative they must stick with what they know and what they know is what everyone else knows. No one person can go their whole life without making bases off of something they got from someone else. Also I think that it is right that too many people place blame on someone when they copy them and they get at them like cats and dogs but when they themselves do it, it’s allowed and they don’t find anything wrong with it. I find it a little hesitant believing that creativity isn’t much of a realistic thing because somebody thought about something else in order to create it. There isn’t a way that something was just there, they had to create it. I agree when they said that many things are derived from others though, this is a true statement, even some sort of creativity is derived from a previous thought or someone else’s thought to that extent. It all makes sense but then everything is stolen so where is the sanity in getting someone who stole from you when you stole from someone else in items such as songs or programs. Somebody somewhere came up with the same thing that someone else has thought of or done the same thing, they just didn’t get the recognition or they were forgotten along the way.
