Read the following passages. The first is from John Hooker's Working Across Cultures. The second is from a student paper that draws on Hooker's work. Compare the original and the student version, and decide if this is an example of plagiarism or legitimate paraphrasing. Original version: "Space and time are objective properties of the physical world that have nothing much to do with culture. At any rate, this is the Western view. It is mistaken, and its mistake helps to teach a central lesson of this book: assumptions that seem obvious and inevitable, in this case assumptions about the nature of time and space, need not hold across cultures." [John Hooker. Working Across Cultures. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press. 2003] Student version: "Culture shapes many aspects of human experience that we might think transcend culture. For example, as Hooker points out, even time and space, which seem to operate outside of culture, can vary profoundly from place to place (Hooker, 2003)."

This is a legitimate paraphrase; the student has put the author's ideas into her own words while also giving the author credit.
