        　　Academic Plagiarism
        　　Nowadays, the problem of academic plagiarism becomes more and more serious.
In orderto earn academic titles, some teachers plagiarize others’ academic
papers; in order tograduate smoothly, some college students plagiarize others’
graduation papers. Everything hasits reasons; academic plagiarism is no
exception.
        　　First, college authorities put too much emphasis on papers while conferring
academic titlesand graduating students. Second, modern technology makes it
unprecedentedly easy to getinformation and materials. Some plagiarists who are
morally corrupt can’t resist thetemptation and decide to take risks. Third, the
system of censorship and penalty are farfrom being strict, encouraging
plagiarism to some extent.
        　　Plagiarism causes many bad results. On the one hand, plagiarism infringes
original writers’right and it is unfair for teachers and students who don’t
plagiarize. On the other hand,plagiarism may spread negative thoughts which in
the end will ruin colleges’ fame. Therefore,I suggest college authorities should
not regard papers as the only criterion for evaluatingteachers and students.
Besides, much stricter system of censorship and penalty should beapplied.
