    Examples of Citations
    • APA Citation Examples
    • Original passage from page 248 of Ashley Montagu’s book The
    American Way of Life:
    • To be human is to weep.  The human species is the only one in the
    whole world of animate nature that sheds tears.  The trained inability
    of any human being to weep is a lessening of his capacity to be
    human – a defect that usually goes deeper than the mere inability to
    cry.  And this, among other things, is what American parents – with
    the best intentions in the world – have achieved for the American
    male.  It is very sad. If we feel like it, let us all have a good cry – and
    clear our minds of those cobwebs of confusion, which have for so
    long prevented us from understanding the ineluctable necessity of
    crying.
    • Now, look at the various ways you can use the opinion expressed in the
    passage.
    • Montagu (2000) claims that American men have a diminished capacity to be
    human because they have been trained by their culture not to cry.
    • In his book The American Way of Life, Ashley Montagu writes, “The trained
    inability of any human being to weep is a lessening of his capacity to be
    human – a defect which usually goes deeper than the mere inability to cry”
    (p. 248).
    • According to Montagu (2000), “To be human is to weep” (p. 248).
    • “If we feel like it,” writes Montagu (2000), “let us have a good cry – and clear
    our minds of those cobwebs of confusion which have for so long prevented
    us from understanding the intellectual necessity of crying” (p. 248).
    • One distinguished anthropologist calls the American male’s reluctance to cry
    “a lessening of his capacity to be human” (Montagu, 2000, p. 248).
    EXAMPLES OF CITATIONS
    • Montagu (2000) finds it “very sad” that American men have a “trained
    inability” to shed tears (p. 248).
    • When my grandfather died, all the members of my family – men and women
    alike – wept openly.  We have never been ashamed to cry. As Montagu
    (2000) writes, “to be human is to weep” (p. 248). I am sure we are more
    human, and in better mental and physical health, because we are able to
    express our feelings without artificial restraints.
    • Montagu (2000) argues that it is both unnatural and harmful for American
    males not to cry:
    To be human is to weep.  The human species is the only one in the whole
    world of animate nature that sheds tears.  The trained inability of any
    human being to weep is a lessening of his capacity to be human – a defect
    that usually goes deeper than the mere inability to cry…. It is very sad. (p.
    248)
