What is your position?
: Krip Yuson indeed plagiarized and should be responsible for the consequences of his actions.
Argument 1: Someone with a reputation like Krip Yuson should be careful of his acts because a
lot of people look up to him.
Argument 2: Krip Yuson didn’t admit simply the accusation but gave different excuses that
contradict his apology.
Argument 3: Krip Yuson definitely misinterpreted Joble’s work as his own since he is saying he
drafted it which is strong evidence for plagiarism and is considered a heinous violation of
ethical standards.
