1. Determine THREE WORDS that you associate with History.

a. The Events
b. Happened
c. In the Past

2. Is the study of History Subjective or Objective? Explain your answer.

a. It is said that to be a Historian, one must remain unbiased because then we will
have a truthful history to pass down to the future generations. History is objective
because it is meant to be stated only as factual and unbiased. It aims to provide
narratives that are quintessentially relative to the data found in present times . It is
being studied and learned from by the people to be educated by the events that
occured which molded the society that we have now. However, some events still
lack resources, which historians tend to interpret the evidence depending on how
the people would say it or the events back then would have happened, this will
now fall on history being subjective.
3. Why does the study of history require Imaginative understanding?
a. Because studying history involves interpretation of the events that had happened
before. This enables historians to successfully give analysis on how people from
the past would react to something that they might have experienced, how events
made their community work that way, and how the civilization developed greatly
as the time passes by.
4. Classify a primary and original source. Provide two examples ( Attach a photo in
the file) for each type of source.
a. Primary Source - Evidence that is from the witness of the said event. This is the
firsthand evidence that came directly from the moment it was happening.
(Examples below: Photo of Filipino prisoners of war taken in 1899 from Library
of Congress) (Bagobos during the American Occupation in the 1900’s.)
b. Original Source - Evidence that is not interpreted in different kinds of manner to
understand its content by a diverse audience. The context can be used to
understand what it is trying to say. (Examples below: (The Voynich Manuscript
1400-1500s) (Item #4, Ricky McCormick’s Notes – 1999, Missouri, US)
