Plagiarism is, in principle, a bad and dishonest way for someone to appropriate someone else's opinion and present it as their own. This happens in real life on a daily basis, and I am aware of many public cases where prominent politicians in their master’s theses have literally plagiarized more than 50% of the content. If this is done by adults in much more serious situations, then we should not be surprised that many young people (some probable minors) do not realize that plagiarism is actually the theft of someone else's intellectual property - and any theft should basically be something bad.

I believe that there are big differences between people from different parts of the world regarding the perception of plagiarism - home and school education play a big role here. But regardless of these differences, anyone who becomes a member of the forum has the same conditions not to make such a mistake - all you need to do is read the rules of the forum.
