Summary:
This is an extremely good article because it goes into depth about every aspect of plagiarism, form how it’s identified to the morality of it. Along with many other things it discusses how institutions deal with this.

Wow I think I could base my whole paper from this one source. Its so informational and makes lots of important points that go unnoticed about the issue.

Argumentative Source:
This site goes along with how I feel about the subject.

Why?

Why? Its something I will always ask. We had a speaker today in history and he is a Vietnam war veteran and he shed some light on a few things for me. Life is hard, I realize this, but look at others who have had to endure so much more than you. I look at this man in the later years of his life and he has been through so much more than me. And I have the audacity to complain about how life is so hard. It makes me so sad to think of the things he was faced with at my age. But at the same time I'm sad because of the "little obstacles" in my life right now, and I feel like I'm being ridiculous. I am so blessed to not have to deal with the loss of a close friend or family member but I know that day will come. Whether I lose them to death or because I choose a different path in life; I have to realize that its not in my hands. I have to let go, but if I do, what then? I'm so confused, right now I feel like I want this in life but on the other hand I feel like I need to do this. Life for me is hard right now...but I will never give up! I was given a wonderful chance at life and success and I cant just give that up...I want a lot of things in life but I know that God will always provide me with what I need and I take comfort in knowing that.
