Understanding plagiarism

Today, i was able to understand extcatly what is plagiarism means. I was just think coping is only a plagiarism, but after going throgh the web learn and some information in Internet, i understood that plagirism is not only coping, but it is stealing some ones else ideas, thoughts, words ect. then i realised that taking the ideas, words fom other peroson or from Internet makes us as plagiarist. certainly when i opened plagiarism in web leran i saw a headig dont cheat ur self ? i realy liked it, because it is like saying directily on the face dont cheat ur self, which means a lot if we realise our self. meanwhile i was going trough the web learn i learnt some things, when people do plagiarsm and due to what resons they do plagirasm.?. some of the reasons is time managment, poor note taking skills, incomplet references so on. so these can be some reasons which make us do palgiarsm.so we have to set up our mind to do things in systmatic way. and

I have also collected some informatiom regarding plagiarsm, how much percentage of people do plagiarsm.
.
According to surveys in U.S. News and World Report
80% of "high-achieving" high school students admit to cheating.
51% of high school students did not believe cheating was wrong.
95% of cheating high school students said that they had not been detected.
75% of college students admitted cheating, and 90% of college students didn't believe cheaters would be caught.
Almost 85% of college students said cheating was necessary to get ahead
