Academic - integrity and plagiarism

The question is, what is the academic? When I hear the word academic, I immediately think about education. Education is the number one thing that will get you through life. What is integrity? To me, integrity is being honest and outspoken and especially having moral uprightness. Being someone of integrity is a really good thing because you will be so different from other people and you will know the right things to do. Now lets talk about PLAGIARISM. What is plagiarism? Plagiarism is when and individual takes someone else's work or idea and taking off as their own without giving the person any credit. You can notice how I capitalized plagiarism. It is a wrong thing to do because if you get caught you will get into so much trouble. You can get expelled from school or suspended. They can cancel whatever exams you had to take because of plagiarism . So don't do it.
