Plagiarism

Wikipedia defines plagiarism as the "practice of claiming, or implying, original authorship of (or incorporating material from) someone else's written or creative work, in whole or in part, into one's own without adequate acknowledgement." Plagiarism can occur almost everywhere, from official documents, films, journalism, and business, to schools. High schools and college teachers have to deal with this problem regularly from their students. Many students are found guilty of copying and pasting information from the internet or other sources without citing the source somewhere in their work. If the information "borrowed" is not cited IT IS considered plagiarism, and that's a huge no no! When you plagiarize you are committing an act of fraud which involves both stealing another's intellectual property, and lying about it afterwards, while claiming the paper as one's own (Plagiarism FAQ).
