-Studying history is important because it allows us to understand our past, which in turn
allows us to understand the present. Studying history can provide us with insight into our
cultures of origin as well as culture with which we might be less familiar, thereby increasing
cross-cultural awareness and understanding.
-There two main types of historical sources namely; Primary sources and secondary sources.
In primary sources examples are diaries, speeches, manuscripts, letters, interviews, records,
eyewitness accounts, and autobiographies. Examples for secondary sources are journal articles,
textbooks, dictionaries, biographies, and news papers
-Internal criticism refers to the authenticity of the document, once a document has been
determined to be genuine. It is also called as positive criticism. It is the attempt of researchers
to restore the meaning of the text. Whereas the external criticism is also known as lower
criticism, it is an instrument of the historian and exegetes to determine the validity of a
document.

Answer:
The pros as a kind of knowledge, you learn what goes into construct historical knowledge. It is
different from knowledge in literature, the Arts, the sciences, and the Maths. By learning
history, you learn what goes into creating certain perspectives and causes of certain events,
why some events are “more significant” than others, and you learn that there are different
ways of proving a given proposition. You learn about primary sources and secondary sources,
ways to validate sources, and you may even realize that historical facts can be challenged.
Whereas the cons is that you become skeptical of historical facts. You might feel compelled to
review the primary and secondary sources yourself. You promote the study of history over the
other academic fields of study. On the other side, if you did not learn a more active approach to
history and instead learn a more dogmatic approach to learning history, you fail to realize that
facts are not true with a capital “T” and you don’t feel that these historical facts can be
challenged with newly discovered artefact or other primary sources.
Answer:
Primary sources are first hand, contemporary accounts of events created by individuals during
that period of time or several years later (such as correspondence, diaries, memoirs and
personal histories). These original records can be found in several media such as print, artwork,
and audio and visual recording. Examples of primary sources include manuscripts, newspapers,
speeches, cartoons, photographs, video, and artefact. Primary sources can be described as
those sources that are closest to the origin of the information. They contain raw information
and thus, must be interpreted by researchers.
Secondary sources are closely related to primary sources and often interpret them. These
sources are documents that relate to information that originated elsewhere. Secondary sources
often use generalizations, analysis, interpretation, and synthesis of primary sources. Examples
of secondary sources include textbooks, articles, and reference books.
