Plagiarism is unethical -To claim something that was not yours is the same as lying.
Plagiarism means a lost learning opportunity - Regurgitating the works of someone else means that you did not take the time to understand it and interpret the work.
Plagiarism diminishes your credibility - People want to know that you understand the research and that you made the effort to put all the information together not that you could just find the information, anyone can find information, that doesn't make you specialist.
Plagiarism may result in serious penalties - School's, especially colleges, view plagiarism as the cardinal sin of academia. Most school have rules in place for when a student is caught plagiarizing which include anything from failing a paper to expulsion.
