These essays are not intended to replace library research. They arehere to show you what others think about a given subject, and toperhaps spark an interest or an idea in you. To take one of theseessays, copy it, and to pass it off as your own is known asplagiarism—academic dishonesty which will result (in every universityI've heard tell of) in suspension or dismissal from the university. Notonly are your professors as technology savvy as you are, they will nottolerate theft of another's intellectual efforts. Nota bene: Background and code copyright ©1996-2006 Anniina Jokinen.
