Plagiarism

Plagiarism is unethical, it's considered the act of stealing.
Plagiarism means a lost learning opportunity, if you plagiarize you lose the opportunity to learn a new topic.
Plagiarism diminishes your credibility, to be considered a credible writer you have to let the reader know where you got your information.
Plagiarism may  result in serious penalties, colleges and universities consider plagiarism as a violation of academic honesty and could result in a penalty.
