Right and wrong
Having ethics is to have the ability to tell the difference between rights and wrong which isn't always an easy thing. Plagiarism and ethics go hand and hand; knowing to give credit when credit is deserved is very important. By giving credit to a source you can avoid copyright infringement, which is basically plagiarizing copyrighted material. A huge problem in the 21st century is the unethical act of piracy on copyrighted materials. Large quantities of money are lost annually due to piracy and in turn the economy suffers.
