Thoughts on Plagiarism

          Every individual has its own skepticism about what to write or their thoughts of what to write. Students thinks that their ideas are somehow not good enough to stand for its own. Therefore, plagiarism rises up and proliferate the mind and the urge of students in writing. Plagiarism is an unacceptable type of writing piece because people tend to be more dependent on people's ideas and work.
          Stealing other's idea is equivalent to a habitual cheating. Other's ideas are precious because they gather informations and thoughts which are originally composed by them. Moreover, since one's thought are original, stealing their composition is perceived as illegal. Definitely, it is hard to come up with a great idea so plagiarism is forbid. Furthermore, this era -- students tends to be more resilient in their laziness, so they tend to just sit in front of the computer and start plagiarizing.
          The consequences of plagiarism are extremely beyond imagination. The punishment of plagiarizing depends on educational level. In high school, punishments are not severely scarce to be scared with, but it is meant to learn from a mistake. College level is when u need to neglect all your thoughts and temptations about plagiarism. The consequences on this level are not a joke. Plagiarizing can lead to expulsion and will disgrace your name from applying or being admitted to another colleges or universities.
          In conclusion, plagiarizing is just a mere "copy" of someone else's work. A punishment will be indicted if caught plagiarizing. This will cause the deterioration of your egoistic self and will give a stain to your name.

Good point; the repercussions of plagiarism get increasingly severe upon entering college, or in the world of employment. However, the rules are going to need to accommodate all of the new technology, and this may change a lot.
