Many students are in a hurry to get what they think the right answer is, without taking too much time to fact-check or do serious research. Thanks to the internet, some students who did not plan ahead can buy a term paper and pass it off as their own (it works until the student gets caught and gets in trouble); or they can copy someone else's research and claim it's theirs; or they can cut-and-paste from various websites and turn it into an essay.

And it's not just students-- many famous people have tried to find a short-cut, by "borrowing" from someone else's work, without attributing it or footnoting or even acknowledging it. When they are caught, it can be very embarrassing. Yes, in a culture where people feel stressed and in a hurry, it's definitely tempting to plagiarize. But as a professor, I can tell you that sooner or later you DO get caught. Plus, when you borrow someone else's work, you really didn't learn anything about the subject, and the lack of knowledge may come back to haunt you later on.
