    History provides important lessons from the past that help nations and societies understand the present and guide decisions about the future. While it does not provide exact details, studying history helps social scientists interpret past human interactions and behaviors to analyze how communities have evolved over time. This allows social scientists to better understand situations and predict behaviors by referring to historical contexts. They can then make informed decisions and recommendations to address problems facing society. Primary sources that come directly from an event are generally more reliable than secondary sources which are second-hand accounts, as primary sources avoid inaccuracies from information being passed through another source.

    ACTIVITY 1

    1.Ans: History, unlike other sciences will not give exact details of a certain fact, it only deals with
    past human activities and these activities that are recorded in various medium, the manner on
    how it was relayed can never be the exact. Despite many questions about the benefits of
    studying history, nations still rely on the lessons of their past as they have no other means to
    use as a link to the present. History serves as a reminder and a diary of country’s distant past,
    mirror to examine the present and a compass to guide the future. All the aspects of society
    including the past events, behavior and relationships of human are being studied by social
    scientists. Social scientists are able to interpret the past by studying human interactions.
    Bystudying how they interacted, they can tell how humans have evolved to create new
    communities. Therefore, analyzing and predicting a certain situation or a behavior were referred
    to history because it is very important role to social science. Social scientists research and
    found different ways to analyze the happenings in the society. They make decisions and
    suggest solutions to every problem. In addition, social scientists can’t solve and predict the
    present and future if they wouldn’t look in the historical background of society.

    2.Ans:History is important to us in order to have insights about the past. History helps us to
    understand the things in our surroundings. It also helps us to understand different
    cultuesaround the world.

    3.Ans: primary sources gives direct access to the subject of the research, while secondary
    sources provide second-hand information and commentary from other researchers

    4.Ans: It is more credible and reliable to use primary sources because they themselves are there
    or they are the one who witnessed it with their own eyes. They are more credible and reliable
    because they ensure accuracy regarding to the information where as having heard it
    fromanother source it would no longer be exactly accurate and may have a bit of contents left
    out or exaggerated.
