Plagiarism is when you steel someone else’s work and say it’s yours. Plagiarism happens a lot. In schools, work and many more places that you wouldn’t even think of. Plagiarism is an easy way out. Though in the long run it’s bad. It’s both steeling and cheating. Steeling because you steel someone else’s work. Cheating because you make people believe it’s yours. The most famous composer of the 20th century, Igor Stravinsky made a very clever remark about plagiarism when he said: “bad composers imitate, good composers steel.” What Stravinsky meant to say was that you have to be original, but everyone has a teacher or other source of inspiration.
