5. What is Plagiarism
● Plagiarism is neither copying nor borrowing somebody else’s intellectual property, and
these terms actually demean the severity of plagiarism as an issue.
● Instead, plagiarism is actually a fraudulent activity carried out by an individual to pass
somebody else’s work off as 100% their own.
● Cambridge dictionary defines plagiarism as:
The process of the practice of using another person’s ideas or work and
pretending that it is your own.
● The techniques for detecting plagiarism are becoming increasingly advanced, and the
consequences are harsher.

6. Types of Plagiarism :
● Direct plagiarism (copying word-for-word)
● Mosaic plagiarism (rearranging borrowed passages)
● Complete plagiarism (submitting someone else's entire work)

7. What are its Consequences?

- Course failure or expulsion from university
- Rejected theses/dissertations
Reputational Damage
- Destroyed credibility in academia
- Difficulty gaining admission or publishing elsewhere

8. Professional Consequences
- Job termination or inability to get hired
- Loss of licences/certifications
- Damage to personal/company reputation
Legal Repercussions
- Copyright infringement claims
- Lawsuits and fines
- Academic disciplinary hearings

9. Learning is Hindered
- Lack of knowledge/skill development
- Poor performance on exams/evaluations
- Inability to think critically
- Quality is Reduced
- Irrelevant/nonsensical content
- Poor logic and flow
- Suspicion from instructors

10. Ethical Breach

- Erosion of trust
- Devaluation of credentials/qualifications

11. How to avoid Plagiarism ? :
● Use your own words and ideas.
● Give credit for copied, adapted, or
paraphrased material.
● Avoid using others’ work with minor
“cosmetic” changes.
● There are no “freebies.”(Always cite words, information, and ideas you
use if they are new to you)
● Beware of “common knowledge.”
● When in doubt, cite.

12. Conclusion :
● plagiarism carries disastrous consequences across academic and professional spheres. It
can terminate educational pursuits through failed classes and expulsions while
irreparably damaging one's reputation. In careers, plagiarism risks job loss, legal
battles, and a ruined professional standing. More fundamentally, it violates ethical
principles and devalues hard-earned credentials.
● Plagiarism hinders true learning and skill development while delivering substandard
work. Though tempting as a perceived shortcut, plagiarism provides no real benefits
and can swiftly become an insurmountable setback. Ethically upholding academic
integrity through responsible research and citation is the only path to preserving
credibility and achieving legitimate success.
