Primary and Secondary Sources

Primary sources provide a first-hand account of an event or time period and are considered to
be authoritative. They represent original thinking, reports on discoveries or events, or they can
share new information. Often these sources are created at the time the events occurred but
they can also include sources that are created later. They are usually the first formal
appearance of original research. Examples of primary resources include:
Diaries, Birth Certificates, Biographies, Autobiographies, Manuscripts, Interviews, Speeches,
Statistical Data, Research Reports, Creative Art Works, Literature Newspaper Advertisements,
Reportage, and Editorial/Opinion Pieces.

Secondary sources offer an analysis, interpretation or a restatement of primary sources and are
considered to be persuasive. They often involve generalisation, synthesis, interpretation,
commentary or evaluation in an attempt to convince the reader of the creator's argument.
They often attempt to describe or explain primary sources.Examples of secondary sources
include:
Journal articles that comment on or analyse, Textbooks, Dictionaries, and Encyclopedia.

Propaganda Techniques
Propaganda is a set of the messages intended to influence opinions of the masses, not giving
the opponents any opportunity to rebut the idea. Instead of telling people the truth,
propaganda often aims at manipulation of ideas to influence the behavior of a large number of
people. So, it presents ideas selectively. Propaganda is related to advertising, where it is about
promoting a product. It is also used to influence religious beliefs of society.

• Bandwagon - it aims at persuading people to do a certain thing because many other people
are doing it. An example can be a soft drink advertisement wherein a large group of people is
shown drinking the same soft drink. People feel induced to opt for that drink as it is shown to
be consumed by many.

• Testimonial - this propaganda technique uses words of an expert or a famous person to

promote a particular idea. For example, a sportsperson is shown recommending a brand of
shoes. Generally, people idealize celebrated figures. So celebrities are used to advertise certain
products.

• Transfer - in this technique, qualities of a well-known person are associated with a product to
promote or demote it. Linking an item to a respected person is positive transfer. Creating an
analogy between a disliked person and a product is negative transfer. It is also used during war
times.

• Repetition - it is when the product name is repeated many times during an advertisement.
This technique may use a jingle, which is appealing to the masses and fits in their minds.

• Emotional words - this is meant to generate positive feelings in the minds of the masses.
Words like 'luxury' or 'paradise' are used to evoke certain feelings in the minds of the people,
which they associate with the product.
