Vocabulary Week 9


WEEK 9

1) incognito: with one's identity concealed
night of the 17th december


The picture I used consists of a silly glasses used sometimes as a joke but, with the intent on disguising one's identity therefore going incognito. Hence I found it very fitting to use as an exampe of incognito.




2.) Plagiarize:
to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use
(another's production) without crediting the source

to commit literary theft : present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source


I chose this picture of a very old book with faded print, because I wanted to demonstrate that it could be anything but, you can always "cheat" and "copy" someones work producing at is your own. The dark handwriting could have been George Washington for all we know, however, James Madison could have claimed this book as his writing and ideas because we see no name.




3.) Objectivity: expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations



I used this picture to illustrate the right to be yourself and the right to have a weird style without somoone elses personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations judging your style.
