 Plagiarism. Plagiarism is bad. It's taking work that's not your own. Definitely in an academic institution like Binghamton, we take that very seriously. I don't plagiarize because it's not right and it's not honest. We shouldn't plagiarize because in a sense it's stealing. Someone put their time and effort in their sweat and they're producing something. It's not really fair for you to take it from them without giving them due credit. That's all. I wouldn't plagiarize because I feel that it's ethically wrong. I don't think it's right to steal or work that other people have done. I wouldn't like it if somebody stole something that I wrote. There's serious penalties for it in academic institutions here. And it's just not a good habit to get into. And also I would get kicked out of school. That's another reason why I wouldn't plagiarize. I'd rather keep my degree, a clean slave. Basically it's just not worth it. You could get kicked out of school for it and honestly you're not being rewarded anyway intellectually from it. So based on those two reasons it's pretty much why I would say I wouldn't plagiarize. So when I write papers I cite my sources and try not to steal anyone else's words. It's the most of my own. Everything that I use in my paper I make sure to cite it. Don't take anything without citing it. I mean everything you write has to be your own idea. If you find something you like you have to cite your sources but you have to analyze it and see how it ties into whatever the topic is that you're writing about. Not just steal other people's work. There's lots of resources available. There's resources available in the Binghamton Library. That's a good another resource. So there's really no excuse for academic plagiarism.
