            Porter talks about how there is no “original” anymore in this world.  Just as Green pointed out how arguments happened before someone ever gets there because the argument went on way longer before then, and the same goes for Porters view on writing. Plagiarism is a serious matter, but when you think of it were all plagiarizing then. But when someone does seriously plagiarism you got to look more deeply into the reasoning why and why more in this day and age people think is more exactable.

 This would be the exact point Emma Gross is thinking though in her writing Clashing Values: Contemporary views about cheating and plagiarism compared to traditional beliefs and practices. One of the reasons she thinks plagiarism is now accepted in todays society is because, “along with the values for personal growth they are pursuing they are also affected by society's current values for productivity, performance and speed”. Also Susan Blum says how people been "groomed to be successful, clever, and above all calculating”. There saying that were always hurrying and trying to get ahead to succeed all at the same time because that was the world were growing up in.
