Answer:

Plagarism is wrong because it is unethical also because it can be a form of theft. Another reason why plagarism is wrong is beacuse taking someone's words or ideas from articles or any other types of writing, which basically means your making it seem like they are your own words when in reality they are not. Also a person who plagiarizes will be known as a playgiariser and will more then likely be benefiting from this particular kind of theft.

Plagiarism is wrong for three reasons: Firstly, it is wrong because it is a form of theft. By taking the ideas and words of others and pretending they are your own, you are stealing someone else's intellectual property. Secondly, it is wrong because the plagiariser subsequently benefits from this theft.
