Plagiarism

I believe that it is important to site your sources.  It is important so that each individual gets credit for their hard work.  If you do not site your source then it is considered plagiarism. Plagiarism is a big deal and could have serious consequences.  If I worked hard and invented something and wrote a book ect. and someone copied my idea or took my words I am not sure exactly what I would do but I know I would be upset and figure out something to do about it.
