Assignment:

The following is an excerpt from "Does Peace Have a Chance?" (an essay from an earlier edition of the Henderson text) written by John Horgan in 2009 on p. 253:

"Counting casualties is fraught with uncertainty:scholars' estimates vary according to how they define war and what sources they accept as reliable, among other factors. Nevertheless, a clear trend emerges from recent studies. Last year, 25,600 combatants and civilians were killed as a direct result of armed conflicts, according to the 2009 Yearbook of SIPRI, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, to be released 17 August. Two thirds of these deaths took place in just three trouble spots: Sri Lanka (8400), Afghanistan (4600), and Iraq (4000). In contrast, almost 500,000 people are killed each year in violent crimes and well over 1 million die in automobile accidents."

Using this excerpt only, perform the following tasks:

• sentence of your own in which you plagiarize at least words from the original text.
• sentence of your own in which you paraphrase a portion of the original without attributing it (still plagiarizing).
• sentence of your own in which you summarize a portion of the original, but this time attribute it appropriately (not plagiarizing now). In this one, you must use a parenthetical citation that includes the author's last name, the year of publication, and the page number.
• sentence of your own in which you quote the original directly, but attribute it to the original source appropriately (not plagiarizing again). In this one, you must use a parenthetical citation that includes the author's last name, the year of publication, and the page number.

Submit all four sentences (labelled appropriately) to your instructor. You must use APA (American Psychology Association) documentation style.
