My opinion about PLAGIARISM

Speaking of plagiarism, nowadays this phenomenon is quite common among

students. This phenomenon began to spread due to the influence of the availability
of information in a lot of sources, especially on the Internet. This applies not only
to information, but also to other people's works in general. And therefore, looking
for an easier way to pass some work, students resort to plagiarism. In my opinion,
plagiarism is fraud and theft. It is theft because you have taken something that is
not your property, and fraud - because you pretend to be someone you are not, the
creator of a text or thought that you clearly believe has merit. That is, using
plagiarism, a person simply becomes a criminal, because it is like ordinary theft.
My position is that plagiarism should be treated as a civil offense and the plagiarist
should be punished and his violations should be recorded. If they continue to
plagiarize, the penalties should increase to prison terms; this is a scam. And there
should be especially serious punishments for plagiarism of works such as songs,
highly qualified works, poems and so on. But in student life, it is irrational to use
such punishments, because I would say that these are only minor write-offs, for
which you should simply not accept the job or send it for a retake, and so on. But
despite the fact that students do not have such serious cases of plagiarism, it is still
a violation of academic integrity and in essence it is a deception, and first of all
one's own. Because writing off work and getting good grades, the student will not
get knowledge or experience for his further career and future in general.
