indeed oceanic/water pollution is becoming worse and worse every day. the local people, the business people and the government/authorities all are at fault. The local people contribute to the littering of the oceans and the do not report when they see other people doing it. Only when they or they loved ones are directly or immediately affected then will they begin to call in to news stations to make a report. Business people take the oceans for their waste basket dumping oil, garbage and any and everything in the waters. The government though they may implement laws or policies for the protection of the ocean they fail to enforce these laws or policies. Thus the perpetrators continue with their actions of destruction.

As long as you give attribution to the source, there is nothing wrong with it.

I usually do that also, citing some date or statistics but I state the source or cite the persons who said it. It is not plagiarism, like what you said in your post; it is merely giving credit where credit is due. It is not owning what other people had said,or what other people had studied or researched.

Informative article to any newcomer or even someone who has been around for a few months. It is better to write fictional work or details which cover some subject which only we know and no one else would know. But it impedes the number of choices which are available to a writer. I saw your article of Rio Olympics and also the comments as to what was written. I found the article based on facts.

Hence I appreciated the article. That is how an article should be if it is a subject like that if it uses data from source hence forth I will make it a point to quote the source so that my article will not be called plagiarized by the checker. For someone new this article is informative provided they read and know what happens when facts are given. I am thinking as to tackle this issue. One I wrote an article in the forum. Two I am responding to this article by you. I am checking what other options are there for writers safety. Thanks for the share.

Thank you for sharing this. I am happy to find your blog post as I just started to work on affiliate marketing and my blog too. I used to put Amazon affiliate links on my blog long time ago, but it did not work. I guess it is how I put the links. Instead of just placing it as an ad, I think I should also include it in my blog post whenever necessarily. I have also joined Ultimate Bundles lately, as I found their bundles are really good deals and I hope many people will benefit from the bundles, and I will also get to earn some commissions too. I have recently come across Zazzle and Society6, and those look good opportunities to me too.

I will check out the rest you mentioned, and I hope I will spend more time on my blog, setting up these affiliate programs, and able to earn some commissions from them too. Hope you are doing good too!

Swimming is my sports. I am a deep sea swimmer since high school. We live near many beaches and deep sea.

An advantage that both individual and team sports share is that it helps in bringing people of different backgrounds together to interact. This is seen in the attendance in the stadiums and different arenas.

Politics apart any country has a responsibility towards the good health and the welfare of its citizens. It is the responsibility of the government of the day to see that they do not damage what structure is already there. It is better if they try to improve the system which exists. That should be the ideal goal of all politicians or parties around the world. If the people of the country are not in good health it affects the economy of the country directly and causes economic loses for the country as the country will not have good quality human resource which is healthy.

Keeping this in view it is always better to have countries which provide a strong social welfare for its people. As government is of the people, for the people and by the people. This should be arrived at irrespective of the costs involved. As if people are unwell it will reflect badly on the image of the country and if it is told that if you do not have insurance you die in a country. It reflects very adversely on the image of the country too. Happy to see that a good caring scheme for the people continues.
