How to stop /tag creating duplicate content - Wordpress

Hi,
I keep getting alert for duplicate content. It seems Wordpress is creating it through a /tag

Something in the way we've got Wordpress set up?

@pau4ner I'm with you, /tag/ pages likely aren't the end of the world. However, why not just robots.txt disallow them if someone was concerned?

@curveballmedia If you are using an On-page plugin such as Yoast SEO you can head to "Search Appearance > Taxonomy" and then look for Tags. There you can choose not to show tags on Search Results.
This will effectively noindex your tags archive page, so you don't have to fear of any duplicate content issues anymore (although I wouldn't worry too much about it, honestly).

How to Get a New Organic SERP Image Pack
I have been doing a little on-page SEO on our site today and came across the following images embedded within organic SERPs, please see the screenshot. Obviously the users eye is drawn to these and therefore they are likely to result in more clicks. It would be great to know what they are called and how to go about getting these for our own results? If we managed to implement these across our site it would make a big difference for us, as working in the travel space, images are so strong when painting a picture of the destination. Thanks

Google Off/On Tags
I came across this article about telling google not to crawl a portion of a webpage, but I never hear anyone in the SEO community talk about them. http://perishablepress.com/press/2009/08/23/tell-google-to-not-index-certain-parts-of-your-page/ Does anyone use these and find them to be effective? If not, how do you suggest noindexing/canonicalizing a portion of a page to avoid duplicate content that shows up on multiple pages?
