Why citations is important? Because it’s
not illegal. If you copy in your writing from some book, website or Wikipedia,
it’s against to copyright law. Copyright is “a legal right created by the law of a country that grants the creator
of an original work exclusive rights to its use and distribution, usually for a
limited time, with the intention of enabling the creator to receive
compensation for their intellectual effort” ( by Wikipedia). Sentence of
internet or book is protected by copyright law. That’s why I should do
citations if I want use information on book or internet like this.
However, actually I’ve copy from other
source in essay. I didn’t copied all of sentence, but I did.
I became 20 years old this summer. And I
think I will have a lot of essay in college life. Then I’m going to stop coping
and be responsible adult because I don’t want to go jail.
