Plagiarism

* Unethical- it is unethical because it does not use the writers own words and is mainly due to rush jobs.
*A lost learning opportunity- the writer doesn't read the research and learn about the topic, therefore does not gain the information that the teacher wanted them to learn.
*Diminishes credibility- being able to cite credible writers and understand what they wrote will allow the writer to understand the information better, and become a better writer themselves.
*Serious penalties- it may result in expulsion in college, and later in life ruin a career or reputation, and may even cause someone to sue the writer for not using there own work, because it may go against a copyright.
