"Based upon your reading on plagiarism, why do you think that we need to cite out sources?"
I think that it is important to cite out sources because, really, it is only the fair thing to do. When I am citing what some one has written, I think of all the hard work that they must have done to write that. When I am writing a paper, that is time that is away from my family. It is a lot of heart and soul that is going into that paper. I'm sure who ever the author is of what ever I am reading-- they went though that too. So I think that it is just fair to give people credit for what they have done.
