This fact alone is not enough to avoid the accusation of plagiarism because plagiarism is a very wide subject that can not be satisfied only by the addition of the references of the sources one used during writing. Plagiarism is defined as the practice of using another person's work or idea and presenting them as if they are your own. Plagiarism encompasses the following acts: 1. Using sources without citing them. 2. Not using appropriate in-text citations in one's write up. 3. Improper paraphrasing of other people's words, that is, those words are still basically in the form used by the original user. 4. Not including quotation marks when other people's words are used. 5. Failure to acknowledge all authors, in case the source used was put together by many authors. These are just few examples of what constitute plagiarism, so you can see that it is more than just adding references to your write up.<span />
Human nature often calls for us to run and take shelter whenever there is danger near by. However, sometimes compassion takes over human nature and thus causes people to risk their lives for the well being of others. Humans are more than their nature intends us to be. If everyone was confined to their natural instincts, there would be no stories of people saving the day.
