PLAGIARISM 

   

is the unethical quotation of another's words or the unethical use of another's ideas or data in such a way as to let the world conclude they are your own words, ideas, or data. 



With proper attribution, to quote another's thoughts and words is appropriate; 



plagiarizing, however, is cheating, and it may break copyright law as well. Unconscious plagiarism does occur, but even that not everyone will excuse.
