Plagiarism and why we shouldn't do it
Plagiarism is one of the easiest things to do. But when you get caught, you can get into legal trouble. You can get sued if someone catches you using their material as your own. It's not fun on either sides. You will be embarrassed while the other party could feel betrayed. You must always remember to give credit where credit is due. It's ok to quote someone on something they did as long as you mention them in it some where. We should also cite throughout our writing because it makes it easier to go back to the material just in-case we miss something, or just want to add something. Citing just makes everything easier for everybody. You learn something also from other people's citing because when you go back to where they referenced the information from, you might find some information that you need. Whatever the situation is, citing is always important.
