I enjoyed reading Lucy's response to the movie lecture. Her blog post made me remember that Thomas Edison tried to take credit for the invention of motion pictures. I never knew that Edison put his name on many inventions that were created by his employees. Putting your name on other's ideas is called plagiarizing. I find plagiarizing immoral and simply rude but many people still do it. People may make up excuses like, "Oh, its not completely the same or I just adopted the idea and I thought of the rest." However, you shouldn't have to plagiarize someone else's ideas because your brain is just as capable of other brilliant ideas. At the end of her post, she included a mini reflection where she asked herself about if she had been responsible towards her own actions. I thought the end was a real nice touch to the post because it gave the reader insight on what you were thinking after the lecture.
