Conclusion & Implication:

With the given sources being released, I already come up with the ideas that the primary sources
are still better than the secondary sources. Primary sources provides raw information and first-
handed evidence such as interview transcripts, statistical data and works of art. It gives me direct
access to the subject of my research. While the secondary sources provides second-hand
information and commentary from other researchers such as journals articles, reviews and
academic books. It describes, interprets and synthesizes primary sources however, in making a
good research, they are both useful in gathering information about the particular events and
stories either the past or the present times.
