What is External criticism?

- External criticism refers to the validity of the document.

- It is a practice of verifying the validity of evidence by examining its physical
characteristics, the consistency with the historical characteristics of the time
when it was produced, and the materials used for the evidence.

( Mula sa salitang criticism or criticize ito ay ang proseso nang pag

vavalidate nang isang impormasyon o dukomento. Sa madaling
salita ang external criticism po ay ang proseso kung saan kini-
critique ang isang impormasyon, research study, at iba pang
dokumento na mayroong historical significance kung ito ba ay
makabuluhan at may validity. )

What is the main purpose of external criticism?

- External criticism, which is also known as lower criticism, is a tool used by
historians and researchers to determine the validity of a document,
particularly a document with some sort of historical significance.

( So ayon po sa sinabi ko kanina, ang main purpose nang external

criticism ay ang pag cricritique nang validation nang isang
impormasyon o iba pang mahalagang papeles na mayroong
historical significance )

Why is external criticism important in analyzing?

- External criticism is when historians check the source to verify whether it's
biased or not. This process is important when analyzing data, because we
have to question whether or not we can trust the data and use it as a
reference point.

( Importante ang external criticism sa pag vavalidate at

pag ananalyze nang mga detalye. Halimbawa na lamang
sa research studies upang malaman kung ang mga
detalye at impormasyo ba ay valid, kung ito ba ay may
kabuluhan at kung ito ba ay bias o hindi)
