Thoughts on Plagiarism

With all the new technology available it is easier to be able to plagiarize. Plagiarism can be done without the person actually realizing he or she did. In order to avoid this, the text or words should be summarized in order to make them your own. If in any case the authors words are very well written and would like to quote it, the proper citations should be done. The consequences for plagiarism are severe enough to get a student expelled from school. Therefore people should aviod plagiarism at all times. The author should recieve recognition for their hard work.
