History provides identity and shows us models of good and responsible behavior, as well as
teaching us how to learn from the mistakes of others. History helps us understand how society
can change and develop. It is not just 'useful', it is essential. Primary sources are the raw
materials of historical research - they are the documents or artifacts closest to the topic of
investigation. ... Secondary sources are not evidence, but rather commentary on and discussion of
evidence, Hence, The definition of a secondary source may vary depending upon the discipline
or context. External and internal criticism is important in the reason that these two are the
process of verifying whether it is genuine or not so it is essential to avoid mistakes from the past.
