Plagiarism, a degrading crime

Plagiarism has become one common thing to do in our society. Some of the people who plagiarize might not even think that it is considered to be a “sin” in academic life. They see it as the “tip of the iceberg” - an action with little effect or even no effect at all, while other scholars see plagiarism as a big mass of solid ice which can destroy the work of some and disrespect others.
