Plagiarism is taking someone else's ideas, words, pictures or writing, and attempting to pass them off as your own. This may be done through purchasing a paper, or copying from the internet, a book, or another student's paper. Plagiarism is illegal and unethical. It is invasion and theft. Reflect on how it would feel if a person walked into your home, stole your best clothes, went to school wearing them, and claimed that they really belonged to him/her.
