In my opinion

• I agree with the punishment in these case because think before you act. If someone wants to something illegal they must pay a price for it, besides the most important is take oneself responsibility. After read the following examples of plagiarism and the action that I discovered there were different penalty for the students and professors. Of course, the professors the penalty is more serious than the students. No matter where you in University, high school event the society the plagiarism is unable to be accepted. Those rules of purpose are to teach management our behavior and to respect others’ intellectual property rights. As we know the rules restrains people’s behavior; the ethic, moral and restrain conscience.
