These essays are not intended to replace library research. They are here
to show you what others think about a given subject, and to perhaps spark an interest or an idea in you. To take one of these
essays, copy it, and to pass it off as your own is known as plagiarism—academic dishonesty which will result (in every
university I've heard tell of) in suspension or dismissal from the university. Not only are your professors as technology-savvy
as you are, they will not tolerate theft of another's intellectual efforts.
