There is no shame in borrowing the ideas of others to inform your own perspective. That is what scholarship is all about: the ongoing sharing and scrutinizing of information.
But there is considerable shame in stealing other people’s ideas and using them as if they were your own. There is also much shame in distorting other people’s ideas, so make sure you quote correctly or, if you paraphrase, properly represent their ideas.
Citing is easy and it is fair.
In this supercharged hyperbolic and histrionic mass media culture, let’s calm down and listen respectfully to each other. It’s the only way to learn.
