    Primary and Secondary Source

    1. Three (3) Things that I significantly learned from the readings

    i. That there are two types of sources, namely: Primary source and Secondary source.
    A primary source are contemporary accounts of an event, personally written or narrated
    by an individual who experienced and participated in the said event first hand. On the
    other hand, secondary sources serve as interpretations or readings of primary sources.
    ii. Verifying the truthfulness and credibility of your sources is a vital skill for a good
    reader. You must have the skill to tell if the reading material is a fake or not which is a
    necessary for this digital age due to the widely spread of fake news.
    iii. There are certain criteria needed to meet to verify a document. These are: Date or
    the time it was produced, Localization or its origin, Authorship or who write it,
    Analysis or the pre-existing material that serve as a basis for its creation, Integrity or
    its original form and Credibility or the evidential value of the content.
    2. Three (3) Things that are still unclear to me

    i. The credibility of foreign authors about other countries as a primary source. He/she
    may be famous in history works about the discovery about a certain country, but the
    works may also include biases which is historically inaccurate.
    ii. Promoting a secondary source to a primary source. If the secondary source is as full
    of information and as authentic as a primary source, why it cannot be a primary source
    even though they are equal as a source of information?
    iii. The effectiveness of the assessment of a source if it is legitimate or not. It is stated
    in the reading that the absence of primary documents that can attest to the accuracy of
    a claim is really a problem in the study of history. If they lack the resources needed for
    verification and the use of secondary source, it may not be credible enough.

    3. I used to think that….

    All old transcripts and source of information are legitimate because there is no
    technology that advance enough to manipulate it. I believe that it is credible because the
    person witnessed the event said so and no one can ever be as truthful and credible as the
    person who experienced and participated the certain event. But as I read the modules, I
    realized that not all early sources are credible and true. Some who proclaimed as witnesses
    can falsify and manipulate the information and if we are careless enough, it can be
    considered as a primary source that may lead to spread of false information.

    4. Three (3) questions that I want to ask about the readings

    i. Can a source be considered a primary source and secondary source at the same
    time? If a secondary source has the quality of information a primary source has, then it
    is enough basis to consider it?
    ii. Can we trust the people behind the process of verifying sources? I mean a bribery can
    happen which leads to false information can be published and can be considered facts.
    Are these people credible enough to perform such analysis?
    iii. Are the readings enough to educate the people regarding fake news? Even though they
    study the credibility of an information at school, people tend to believe things that they
    are in favor even though it is all fallacy.
