One issue surrounding academic honesty is plagiarism. Plagiarism is defined as the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work. Plagiarism is wrong. Everyone knows it's dishonest but they all still seem to think that it's not that big of a deal. Well taking someone elses words and using them as yours is a big deal. It's actually a huge deal. If you write an article, letter, or even an essay would you want someone else you don't even know using your ideas as theirs. You can avoid this by citing all the information in your paper that is found during research on that topic.
