    External criticism analyzes the authenticity and genuineness of historical sources by examining their form, appearance, authorship, and context. Internal criticism evaluates the reliability and trustworthiness of sources by assessing the author's motives, competence, accuracy, and knowledge on the topic covered. External criticism focuses on the source itself, while internal criticism examines the credibility of the information within the source. Both types of criticism are important when historians evaluate primary sources used in the study of history.

    TASK 1

    SECTION: 2-ITA GROUP #: ______1______


    Answer the following questions by group.

    1. What is history?
    According to Alpha History “History is the study of the past – specifically, the people, societies, events and problems
    of the past – and our attempts to understand them. It is a pursuit common to all human societies. History can be a
    tremendous story, a rolling narrative filled with great personalities and tales of turmoil and triumph. Each passing
    generation adds its own chapters to our history while reinterpreting and finding new things in those chapters already
    written.
    History gives us a sense of identity. By understanding where we have come from, we can better understand who we
    are. History provides a sense of context for our lives and our existence. It helps us to understand the way things are
    and ways that we might approach the future.” (2020, Llewellyn and Thompson)

    2. Why do we need to study history?

    According to Larson (2018), studying history is very important because it allows every person to understand more of
    the current state of the world. Because of this, history can also provide us a pattern of economic and cultural trends
    that which may by different experts to give predictions to what may happen in the following years.

    sources.

    Aldea, Michael
    Primary Sources – In the study of history as an academic discipline, a primary source is an artifact, document, diary,
    manuscript, autobiography, recording, or any other source of information that was created at the time under study. It
    serves as an original source of information about the topic.
    Examples:
    - Archives and manuscripts material
    - Photography, audio recordings, video recordings, film
    - Journals, letters and diaries
    - Speeches
    - Scrapbooks
    - Published books, newspaper and magazine clippings published at the time
    - Government publications
    - Oral histories
    - Records of organization
    - Autobiographies and memoirs
    - Printed ephemera
    - Artifacts, e.g. clothing, costumes, furniture
    - Research data, e.g. public opinion polls

    Secondary Sources – a secondary source is a document or recording that relates or discusses information originally
    presented elsewhere. A secondary source contrasts with a primary source, which is an original source of the
    information being discussed; a primary source can be a person with direct knowledge of a situation, or a document
    created by such a person.
    Examples:
    - Bibliographies
    - Biographical works
    - Reference books, including dictionaries, encyclopedias, and atlases
    - Articles from magazines, journals, and newspapers after the event
    - Literature reviews and review articles (e.g., movie reviews, book reviews)
    - History books and other popular or scholarly books
    - Works of criticism and interpretation
    - Commentaries and treatises
    - Textbooks
    - Indexes and abstracts

    4. How is external criticism different from internal criticism of historical sources?


    Alanano, Alyssa
    External criticism or “lower criticism” is when the genuineness or authenticity of a document is looked on to. The
    form, appearance, authorship and textual circumstances are questioned while internal criticism or “higher
    criticism” questions the author’s good faith, motive, competence, accuracy and knowledge regarding the subject
    covered. This type of criticism looks into the meaning, reliability and trustworthiness of a document.
