Plagiarism
1. Plagiarism is stealing or in other words not using your own writing, or own ideas, etc. in a piece of writing and failure to acknowledge someone else's work.
2. Plagiarism Defeats the Purposes of Education as when writing common Research Papers it is so easy to copy and paste a whole page of writing. Though how will a student learn how to cite sources if a professor let his or her students copy and paste the whole paper. Citing sources is a tough concept to learn.
3. Documenting Sources Responsibly Helps Avoid Plagiarism and Build Credibility to professors and others around you. Presenting a well Researched paper with cited sources will help not only your grade but also build self-confidense and skill in writing. Who knows there could be some money involved if your writing is good.
4. Plagiarism Has Serious Consequences at the school level and even at a higher level. Plagiarizing at your school could result in no credit on the paper or even worse a early vacation and expelled from school. More serious counts of plagiarism can be considered as Fraud and serious fines, jail time can be rewarded to you.
