Plagiarism: What is it?

Simply put, plagiarism is turning in somebody else's work as your own.
Since you didn't do the work, but are pretending you did, that means you're lying, cheating, being dishonest.
Not exactly the kind of person most of us aspire to be.
Not exactly the kind of person most people want to hang out with.
Or fall in love with.
Or hire for a job.
