According to Wikipedia, plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work. The idea remains problematic with unclear definitions and unclear rules.
Plagiarism is same as cheating. You're copying someone's work without their permission. Plagiarism is a real deal, you thought it is just a simple offense....... But think again. Here in the Philippines, there are several plagiarism issues like Senator Tito Soto's speeches, that student from University of the Philippines , and Manuel V. Pangilinan's speech during the commencement exercise in Ateneo, last 2010.

Plagiarism is common during high school. Students used to copy some articles from a specific website then paste it to their worksheet. And after that, presto! You are now set to submit your plagiarize paper to your teacher. During those days it is not a big deal to copy someone's work because the teachers will just check them if it looks good. They will not double-check if it's plagiarize or not. But today, professors are stricter compare to the teachers that we had before. They will check every sentence in your work then they will paste it to the search box to modify if it's plagiarize or not. Copy and paste are not allowed anymore when you go to college, also 'Copy and Re-phrase' are not advisable.
If I were you, I will just compose my own work and put some witty things on it, than copying a witty work that will make you look like a shitty writer, speaker or student (every thing). Just state what you really want to say. You don't have to copy someone's work, if you would switch places with the one who is being plagiarize, do you think that you will look happy if someone grabs your work? All you have to do is to think.... Think of the possible consequences of your actions. Think twice.
