It is no coincidence that our generation suffers under a burden of plagiarizing journalists, confiscatory government, cooked scientific research, and so on.

When you have a lot of work to turn in, and the pressure is high, it is easy to start making excuses to yourself, or to shove the noisy part of your conscience into a closet. And computers have made it easier to get into all kinds of sin, including the sin of plagiarism, which is intellectual theft.
