What You Need to Know Before We Begin

1. What is plagiarism? Plagiarism is the unlawful use of material that is not your own. It is good to avoid plagiarism because one, it is not honest, and two, it could get you into legal trouble.

2. What citation format are we using? MLa format, as it is a cultural study which falls under the MLA. I myself will be using footnotes primarily.

3. Create a Works cited page for two of the websites you will be using.

4. What is Stock Photography? Stock photography means that the person who published the photo gives anyone the right to use it for any purpose.

5. Why can't we just use random images from google? Because they may not be stock photos. Just because they've been uploaded doesn't mean their free license.

6. What does it mean to be Public Domain? It means that there are no copyright laws for the information within your area of residence.
