The consequences of Plagiarism

      Plagiarism can be defined as the process in which an idea is taken word for word from another person without giving them credit. Sometimes people are already too stressed out  or too lazy to do the actual work. This results in them copying ideas, sentences or phrases word for word. Although it may be an easy procedure to do, it results in  major consequences including a zero on the assignment, an F in citizenship grade, Saturday school and notification to your parents. In a college or university it can result to expulsion. This is a serious matter and there is no excuse to do it. If you plagiarize at one point, don't expect to get by it another time. If you don't, keep following the rules. A simple rule breaking procedure can destroy your career and possible ruin your life in the short and long run.
