Plagiarism is the most common guideline people violate the most often. People do not realize the severity of stealing other people's work, and are quick to copy and paste others work and make it their own.

Why do these violations occur?

Our generation has become very lazy. A quick google search can provide examples, articles, and answers to help complete work for us. People do not want to go through the hassle of having to cite work, but also with advancing technology such as AI, people are using it to write papers, and do homework, but what they do not realize is that AI is a combination of a plethora of individuals work put together, so anything that comes from AI is automatically plagiarism.

What could be done to reduce or eliminate plagiarism?
