According to the University of North Carolina plagiarism is "the deliberate or reckless representation of another's words, thoughts, or ideas as one's own without attribution in connection with submission of academic work, whether graded or otherwise" (unc.edu). Plagiarism in the simplest terms is using someone else's work or idea as your own without given proper credit where credit is due.

Plagiarism is the use at any time of someone else's thoughts while writing any formal paper, and not mentioning where it came from. I think of it like this: If you're reading something for a paper or a book that you're writing, and you think, "oh, I didn't know that" or, "oh, that's an interesting point of view," Regardless of whether or not you wrote it down as you saw it, if what you wrote down was directly impacted by what you read; cite it.
Plagiarism at its most basic level is in fact stealing. It is taking someone elses work and claiming it to be your own. This can mean copying someones work and placing it in your essay or simply not giving credit where it is due. ALthough plagiarism is often purposely, sometimes it can be accidentental. For example, one could give someone credit for their work, but do so incorrectly.

I believe that plagiarism consists of using any information or ideas that are not your own but not giving credit to the person whose information or idea it originally was. This can happen in various different formats. I don't believe that plagiarism is strictly something that happens within the realm of writing. The first example that comes to mind is that of the portrayal of the creation of Facebook depicted in the "Social Network" movie. Mark Zuckerberg was accused by his peers at Harvard of stealing (aka Plagiarizing) their idea, which he named "Facebook". Whether he had truly plagiarized or not is not my point. I just believe that this is a good example of how plagiarism does not apply only to written work. If you take an idea or information from someone else and give them no credit for it (cite it, etc) then you have committed plagiarism.
According to the Biology Department at UCF, plagiarism is the use of someone’s words, phrase, or ideas without referencing that person (2008). It is important to note that plagiarism is not just limited to copying words verbatim.

It can be very hard to determine weather or not you are plagiarizing. The general definition would be taking something and passing it off as yours. But I believe it goes so much deeper than that, technically every idea we have has come from somewhere else - unless of course we're geniuses. Because of this my definition of plagiarism is not giving credit where credit is due. Other ways according to www.plagiarism.org, to "turning in someone else's work as your own, copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit, failing to put a quotation in quotation marks, giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation, changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit, copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not".
