It is important that we cite our work because it is illegal not to. People who do not cite their work could get in a lot of trouble they could fail a class, lose a job, or even sued. I think I would be ok with someone using my work as long as it was not for profit. If they are, a paid writer they should know better but students are learning and as long as it is, an honest mistake and they are not obvious that they copied it word for word and did not even try to cite the work. The internet has made things very interesting for many people with rampant plagiarism all over the place. In my opinion there are many people writing things online that should be censored to or required to meet certain criteria before posting it to public areas, but then again why shouldn’t they be able to chat with their families and share photos. Of course, this blurs the line but the wheels of society move slow and it will take time to get this monitored properly. Identifying plagiarism can be tricky it is not like it is flagged in the work saying here I am, but there are some tells like if you don’t cite certain things like dates and other technical information. I like to look for all types of sources when I do my research I would rather have overkill than not enough when it comes time to write my paper. As much as I always thought that citing, work was silly in high school I am starting to understand it now and can see why it is so important to people after all it is work writing and if you do not want to do the work then you do not deserve the credit. Oh and by the way, if anyone was wondering I am feeling much better this week and I am getting use to my new teeth.
