Society these days is flooded with online-websites, articles, and novels about the dangers of plagiarism and how to avoid it; yet some people continue to steal others work for their own. With the over abundance of technological support and the vast variety of reference books and novels it is almost a temptation for people to plagiarize.

When it comes to writing for academic websites, there are important issues that are encountered when it comes to plagiarism. Firstly, the simple fact that if a writer is commissioned to work on a project and it has been partly or wholly plagiarized, it has a detrimental effect on the reputation of that particular company. If plagiarism is discovered by the customer, they may not return and will more than likely request a refund. Most notably, this can also give the company a bad reputation, and ‘word of mouth’ certainly is a very important aspect of business for an academic writing company.

Conclusively, not only is it unethical, but plagiarism also goes against what it means to be a writer. A writer should regard themself as an honest and creative individual. If plagiarism is committed, they are simply just as bad as a common criminal.
