I will not plagiarize because it is wrong to do so. Plagiarizing diminishes the prestige and allure that is associated with a Clemson University degree. I won't do anything to jeopardize my chances of succeeding in my goal of graduating from the University with a prestigious degree. If I am going to work and strain for a goal, then I want it to be worth the struggle in the end and by cheating I make it less valuable.
Plagiarizing is just another form of crime. It is stealing someones words, thoughts, ideas, etc. but it is still stealing none the less. To commit that crime and assume that it "isn't as important" as any other crimes is completely wrong. The law is the law and if you start disobeying it in one way, you are bound to fall victim to the snowball effect. This snowball effect will eventually lead to complete and utter chaos and most people can agree that chaos is bad.
Due to the fact that I believe this and that I want a valuable degree from Clemson University, I pledge not to plagiarize in any of the work that I complete while here.
