WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?
According to the oxford english dictionary, plaigiarism is define as
"The action or practice of taking someone else's work, idea, etc and passing it off as one's own".
Its a terrible act of wanting to take credit for what isn't yours.
In plagiarism your actions shows that of a thief, cheat and heartless individual because the credit and honour meant to be bestowed on the work goes to the individual who wasn't behind the brain work.
I @biyimide will personally define it as an act of copying, using, sharing any form of work that does not belong to you without any aim of giving credit to the owner
