In Loye Youngs's essay, “Is Humiliation an Ethically Appropriate Response to Plagiarism?” Loye Young claims that the action he took against students who plagiarized is valid.

Loye Young states that even after a well-reviewed and clear syllabus he is "surprised by how common and blatant plagiarism turned out to be" (Young, 191).

Another reason he states to justify his claim was by explaining Senator Joseph Biden story on how plagiarism ended his presidential trial. He states, " Biden was caught plagiarizing while at Syracuse Law School. But Biden continued to plagiarize for another 20 years. During the 1988 presidential campaign, Senator Biden's career of plagiarizing came to light" (Young, 192). Young explains that if we learn earlier on from our mistakes, it will help us become better prepared for the real world.
