Trying Neaira Paper

*****WARNING ON PLAGIARISM AND ACADEMIC DISHONESTY*****

I strongly suggest that you review the policies on plagiarism and academic dishonesty before turning in this paper to be sure that you have properly followed all citation procedures and that you have included nothing that constitutes an act of academic dishonesty or plagiarism. Also, a reminder that any inclusion of AI generated material will be considered an act of academic dishonesty and penalized as such.

Also, a reminder that I strongly suggest that you avoid using programs like Grammarly since clarity of writing does count in this assignment and I very frequently find that, ironically, using these programs makes student writing less clear and more difficult to understand. Just tell me your thoughts, clearly and directly, in your own words, and your grade is far more likely to be a good one.
