The consequence of using plagiarism in my work:
Using plagiarism in my own work could result in multiple actions being taken wheather that be a essay that will be submitted for approval.. This can also extend to copying a image by drawing the same as another artist and trying to pass it off as my own .Most importantly that my work could not be submitted or would be rejected and making achieving a grade impossible.Breaking copyright laws in higher education (such as university's) could mean failing my course but could also result in being kicked off of my course and in most serious cases being taken to court, if the victim of plagiarism decides so.
