I decided to respond to these following questions this week:
Based upon your reading on plagiarism, why do you think we need to cite our sources?
• What would you do if someone used something you created without giving you credit?
While reading about plagiarism, I think that it is very important that we cite our sources because we are giving credit to the authors for their work. Plus I think that it is very important because if we do not cite our sources then if somebody asked where you might have gotten that information from you would not be able to tell them because you would probably not remember.
I think if someone had taken credit for some work that I have written I would be very upset. Knowing me, I would probably try to find a way to contact that person so that they would change it and give me credit for it. Or I might just post something to their website that shows where they got the information from which would be the website that I owned that way the person would think twice about doing it again. I know I would still feel very upset and hurt, and angry at the same time. I think its only fair that you give credit to the person that originally wrote the information.
