Why is it important to have sources?  First, you need to make your paper credible by including facts, that is reliable facts.  You need to give a citation to where you got the information from.  That citation will allow the reader to go to the source of your information and read it firsthand.  In addition, if you don’t give a citation, your paper could be considered plagiarism – something you never want to do or have happen.
