Citing your words...

I think that it is very important to cite your references while writing any kind of paper or essay. If you don't use citations, you are not only plagiarizing but your not giving whoever wrote the words in the first place the credit. I know if I wrote something and was not being cited, I wouldn't be so happy about it. When you are plagiarizing, you are not being honest with yourself. You would feel a lot prouder of your paper when it is finished if you used your own words; and when you do have to use others words it is really easy to cite them. So I guess what I am saying, is that it is just as easy to cite as to plagiarize.
