#AllMyHomiesHatePlagiarism
Introduction
In a world where valuable information is just one tap away from discovery. Plagiarism or the theft of intellectual property is plaguing (plague-iarism?) our virtual and physical world. Every data is at risk. Everyone can be a suspect. This is a crisis of morality and legality. As the empowered youth of today, it is up to us to uphold the value of honesty and promote free thinking.

Diving deeper, the following are all examples of plagiarism:
-
turning in someone else's work as your own
-
copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit
-
failing to put a quotation in quotation marks
-
giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation
-
changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit
-
copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not (see our section on "fair use" rules)
(P.Org, 2017)
Consequences
According to the Department of Justice, although plagiarism itself is not a form of crime, the act, however, amounts to copyright infringement. This will mean that plagiarism now weighs as 3-6 years of imprisonment and a fine ranging between 50,000 up to 150,000 pesos.

Conclusion
Plagiarism disgraces not only the scholarly act of the owner but also the individual conscience and morality of the offender. Intellectual property is as important as physical property, as they are both products of one's striving. Caught or not caught, a crime is still a crime. Humanity is messy, yes, but doing something as simple as citing a source can make the world a little brighter.
