What is plagiarism

Plagiarism simple means posting, writing or creating a content that is not rightfully yours and not giving a reference to it's owner.

You just steal an Idea and make it yours with quoting or citing the source of the information, when you steal someones effort it shows dishonesty on your part.

When you don't use your mental powers to think and create original content how will you learn, you will be left empty.
