Plagiarism

/ˈpleɪ.dʒə.rɪ.zəm/noun
ELI5 mode

Plagiarism is the unethical act of copying someone else's words, ideas, or creative work and presenting them as your own without proper credit. In modern contexts, it extends beyond writing to include digital content like code snippets or social media posts, often leading to severe consequences in academia, journalism, and professional fields. This practice undermines intellectual integrity and innovation, making attribution tools essential in today's information-driven world.
