   | 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 plagiarismacademic 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.
