Plagiarism

1.)Dishonost:when you use someone else's work and do not give them the credit of actually writing that item, then you are taking something that isn't yours or you are stealing. 2.)Lost learning opportunity: When you choose to plagiarize, you are not putting forth any real effort. You are not putting the writing skills, that you have been taught in class, to good use. Although it may seem like you are using your time wisely by not writing your own paper, you are really wasting your and your teacher's time. You are choosing to not do anything of academic importance. 3.)Lack of credibility: when you choose to use someone else's work, it shows your audience that you are unable to do something yourself. When they see that you do not have the skills to write a paper, it will make them question your intellegence and whether or not they can trust you with other things in life. 4.)Serious consequences: if you are caught plagiarizing at school the result may be failing the class or possibly getting kicked out of school. These things can have a serious impact on your future.
