Although plagiarism has been in existence even before the internet, but since the arrival of the internet, the act of copy/paste has become more noticeable among the users.
Most students now copy their homework from the internet without seeing it as a serious offence. They have lost their senses of creativity and originality to plagiarism. Copy & Paste now become their favorite tool whenever there is a need to put an idea in black and white.

Plagiarism is the appropriation of another person's work, be it text or image, without any attempt to give them credit. The goal of the plagiarist is to make it appear as if themselves are the source of the work. ^Source

Plagiarism is when you copy someone's work and try to pass it off as your own. Plagiarism can be a violation of copyright laws and can be considered cheating, resulting in you getting a failing grade or even being kicked out of school. Discover various examples of plagiarism so you can be sure to avoid this serious problem. Students can commit plagiarism, but so can anyone who produces any type of writing.^Source

Plagiarism is a disciplinary offence that is punishable under the law.

You copy whatever you see from the internet. Can't you just think? "what if your reader get to know they aren't your work"? You spoil your reputation.

If there is a need for you to add another man's ideas to your post, then you can simply confess it by quoting the source of the idea. That alone makes your report looks more professional to your readers.
There's nothing wrong in quoting other people's point of view, in your books or reports, or blogs as long as you do it in the right way. There must be a quote "" indicating that the point is originally from another author.

Stop deceiving yourself, it's absolutely perfect to leverage on your brain to get what you want rather than plagiarizing other people's thought for your selfish interest.

Plagiarism kills the real you and destroys that creativity and originality in you. It gives you a bad reputation once your reader get to know. Let's stand against it and say no to plagiarism. You can actually put stop to it by studying whatever you are writing about and having the full understanding and expressing it in your own way.

By now, everyone should know that plagiarizing on your blog is ethically wrong and, in most cases, illegal.
If you get caught the punishments can be severe as you can face legal consequences, including copyright infringement lawsuits, DMCA takedown notices and more, as well as damage to your reputation and your career.^Source
