Why/how can icons be used to communicate?
Icons can be used to communicate because it helps a person identify certain pictures or messages behind each icon. It helps a person understand an image even if they do not know the language. 

Via the internet, find 2 examples of common icons that clearly communicate their message. Post both in this entry and explain your choice.



I choses these two common icons that are clear to understand. I chose the bus icon because it is easy for a person to understand and find if they get lost or do not understand the language. It is easy to understand what this looks like and can quickly identify what it is. Another icon I chose it the restroom icon. It clearly communicates its message, and in most parts of the world, it means that it is either a restroom or area for sanitation.

What is the difference between copyright and public domain?
Copyright is the protection to a person's original work. It is the legal right for the owner to do anything to their work, as well as authorize others. Whereas public domain, it can be used by anyone freely. In public domain, no one owns a work, and there is no ownership. 


How can you avoid plagiarism in this class?  In other classes?
Plagiarism can be avoided in this class by not using or copying another person's work exactly. A person has to be original and produce their own ideas and works. In other classes, they cannot have exact copies or have the same answers. It can also be avoided by providing a source if a person is copying.
