Being able to site our sources correctly not only teaches us an important part of research, it also teaches us that our own writing and ideas are more compelling when its properly cited.

More importantly, plagiarism can have negative affects after college. In the workplace, if you are caught stealing other peoples work, you can be fired or even sued.
