1.Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's work or ideas without giving them proper
credit. If someone is found guilty of plagiarism, they may face several consequences,
including:
Academic Penalties: In an academic setting, plagiarism is considered a serious
offense and can result in penalties such as failing the assignment, failing the
course, or even expulsion from the institution.
Legal Consequences: Plagiarism can also result in legal consequences,
particularly in cases where copyrighted material has been used without
permission. This can result in fines or even criminal charges.
Damage to Reputation: Plagiarism can damage a person's reputation, particularly
in professional contexts. It can result in loss of credibility and trust, which can
have long-term consequences for the individual's career and personal life.
Loss of Opportunities: Plagiarism can also result in loss of opportunities, such as
scholarships, grants, and job offers. It can also hinder the individual's ability to
network and collaborate with others in their field.
