Plagiarism is a very serious offence.
Some people may not know what plagiarism is, not to mention the seriousness of it. The act of copying and paste a sentence or paragraph from a source written by someone is considered plagiarism. Many students do not know about it. This is the reason why they always copy and paste from a source for their project. They do not know that this is a violation of copyrights. There are a few reasons why students perform the act of plagiarism. One of the reasons could be due to laziness. Some students are lazy to rephrase the whole sentence or paragraph with their own words and just copy and paste the whole thing. Another reason is that some students are weak in English and they do not know how to change the sentence of paragraph into their own words. However, all of these are not valid reasons that students can perform the act of plagiarism. If they are weak in English, they can look up words in the dictionary or thesaurus.
There are also people who know what plagiarism is and the seriousness of it but still commit the offence. These kind of people are the ones who should be severely dealt with. Serkan Anilir's act of plagiarism could be due to him wanting to get a high pay job in Tokyo University. However, what he did was wrong. He should work hard to get himself a doctorate so that he can be a professor in Tokyo University. Serkan Anilir should not go about doing it using under hand methods.
