ESSAY

Primary sources are the actual, original information that was present at a historical
period. These are used to discover historical events, how people lived in the past, and
the location of the history's inception. The likelihood that these fundamental issues
were present when that historic event took place is higher. Instead of erroneous stories
without any supporting evidence, more specific facts or insights would be perceived.
With that said, these are the proofs that can be used to understand what happened in
the past. Consequently, using primary sources has the advantage of helping you learn
the truth about the past.

Although they are like facts to support or further explain the primary sources, secondary
sources are also trustworthy. History textbooks, in my perspective, are a newer version
of primary sources or a source of information that may be used to expand upon or
clarify primary sources. The majority of history textbooks are secondary sources since
the author relies on a primary source to help them develop a fresh perspective on the
subject matter. New discoveries have also been made to help us comprehend the data.
This may help you learn more about history in some little way. It either confirms the
primary source or contradicts it. As a result, I draw the conclusion that the majority of
history textbooks are secondary sources.

The things or information we observe online are main sources online. With the
advancement of technology, many things have also improved, such as the ability to
access information about a particular topic online. It is the simplest and quickest method
for searching for information. You don't need to travel anywhere to view primary sources
that are accessible online. As I've already stated, employing technology is the simplest
and quickest way to acquire information. There is a ton of information available, namely
different kinds of information. However, there is a drawback to using original sources
that are available online.

There are several ways to learn about the past, whether it be through the use of primary
sources, secondary sources, or tertiary sources. It might be difficult to grasp our
country's past when there are conflicting accounts of what actually transpired at a
particular historic event. In addition, several races that invaded us had an impact on our
traditions and culture. There is a lot of information available regarding what happened
because this changed our history in a different way. However, whether it had a
beneficial or negative effect, this had a significant impact on our current life.
