Writing and Composition

There is no space. If you mean a word such as "isn't" there is no space between the apostraphe and the final letter in the word.

For words or names that require an apostraphe at the end of it, such as "Mr Jones'" the need for a space is only required if the word is a part of the sentance and not the end such as "It belonged to Mr Jones' cat." or "It was Mr Jones'."

Plagiarism is when you copy someone else's written work, word for word and take the credit for the work. It's a way of cheating yourself of the knowledge (looking it up/research) and the challenge of putting it in your own words. It is also a form of theft and is illegal.

Note that if you reword slightly that, too, is plagiarism. Your written work must be in your own words. All quotations must be properly acknowledged.

Plagiarism is bad because it is dishonest and a form of theft. What's more students who plagiarize don't learn from it. The real challenge of 'looking things up' is to evaluate and synthesize ideas from two or, better still, several sources. Usually, the ability to do that shows an understanding of the issues, shows that the student has got to grips with the topic and has really tried to do the assignment.

Answer

There is always some deeper reason as to why people do things that will only hurt themselves in the end. Maybe they are suffering inside. Maybe they are trying to be accepted. Maybe they're just plain not thinking. No one truly knows what's going on inside that person's head... except for that person.

Answer

I've thought about this for many years, since I, like most people, do things that are bad for me. To start with, we are human with all of the usual human weaknesses. Next, all our lives are fraught with danger on a daily basis. I'm not talking about being hit by a bus or by lightening, but even the dangers that we know nothing about. I for one, used an asbestos lined hair dryer for about twenty years. Not on purpose of course. What other simple everyday things are we doing that one day we'll find out are very dangerous. We as a society, try to do better about pollution, wise water usage, traffic safety, safe sex, etc. If you make a list of all of the everyday things that can be a hazard to ourselves or others, the list will be so long that an individual can't follow every caution on the list. A bit oversimplified, but as humans, we're aware of dangers all around us, then we pick a few that suit our own personality and hope for the best. Since we are human beings, we can't be perfect even if we try, we settle for doing the best we can. Now I'll finish my soft drink.
