28. Example 1 (p. 67) • Your text: • This statistical association between income and democracy is the cornerstone of the influential modernization theory. Democracy was both created and consolidated by a broad process of modernization which involved changes in the factors of industrialization, urbanization, wealth, and education [which] are so closely interrelated as to form one common factor. And the factors subsumed under economic development carry with it the political correlate of democracy. • Neither quotation marks nor explanatory comments are given.

29. Example 1 (p. 67) • Proper text: • This statistical association between income and democracy is the cornerstone of the influential modernization theory. Lipset (1959) suggested that democracy was both created and consolidated by a broad process of modernization which involved changes in “the factors of industrialization, urbanization, wealth, and education [which] are so closely interrelated as to form one common factor. And the factors subsumed under economic development carry with it the political correlate of democracy’’. • References • Lipset, Seymour M. 1959. “Some Social Requisites of Democracy: Economic Development and Political Legitimacy.” American Political Science Review, 53(1): 69-105

30. Example 2 (p. 67) • Original text: • The factors of industrialization, urbanization, wealth, and education [which] are so closely interrelated as to form one common factor. And the factors subsumed under economic development carry with it the political correlate of democracy. • Your text: • The factors of industrialization, urbanization, wealth, and education [which] are so closely related to each other so that they form one common factor. And the factors involved with economic development carry with it the political correlate of democracy. • Quotation marks are not necessary. • But explanatory comments are needed.

31. Commonly used excuses (p. 68) • It’s a coincidence! • I did it carelessly rather than on purpose. • An explanatory note is not necessary because I have the same opinion. • I did not know. I did not understand. • These claims are unacceptable
