    Primary sources are produced directly by the subject of discussion, like surveys in a workplace discrimination case, while secondary sources cite the work of others, such as a newspaper article. Primary sources may appear more convincing in an argument since the researcher was directly involved, while secondary sources could seem unreliable or biased if the argument relies on a biased part of a report. Both primary and secondary sources can be used to support arguments in a dispute, but primary sources tend to carry more weight.

    Effects of Primary and Secondary Sources on Debate

    One facet of disputes is the use of primary and secondary sources. The primary
    source in a discussion regarding workplace discrimination, for example, would be first-
    hand data gathered from office surveys, but the secondary source would be someone
    citing a newspaper article. Primary sources are those produced directly by the subject,
    whereas secondary sources are those that draw on the work or research of others.
    There are many distinct factors at work when it comes to how primary and secondary
    materials affect disputes. However, in the case of a secondary source, the argument
    may appear to be unreliable and biased because the person making the argument
    referred to the biased part of the report in order to make their point. In the case of a
    primary source, the argument may appear to be very convincing because the person
    conducting the research was the one making the argument. The ability to use sources
    to support your arguments in a dispute is another benefit.
