...Primary source is a document of a period-of-time being studied. It includes diary, books, music, photographs, paintings, etc. They are created by witnesses who had experienced events during the period. I have looked into several sources, and music from the great depression interests me the most. The lyrics, melody, and tempo expressed the musicians’ subtext profoundly. By looking at the lyrics from the great depression, I have identified the most frequent topic, which was money. Even though the lyrics came with cheerful tones of melody, but the words deeply strikes my heart. Money can’t buy happiness but you can’t survive without money; people during that time were so desperate for a better life, thus they think about fortune all the time. Desperate lyrics along with ‘happy go lucky’ melody made up the music culture of 1930s American history. Primary sources are very interesting to investigate because they contain real historical evidences that bring people back to the old times. One of the strength of using primary source to understand American history is that unlike secondary source, primary source prevents deformation from the original source. It is a first person point of view from that time and place. The music delivers a strong emotion towards the great depression. Music is already an influential art; music from that period could express the feeling much greater than other primary sources. The purpose of communication is very clear in music, it combine words that described...

...In the primary source, “A Maidu Women Recalls an Escape to Fort Wright, 1850,” Evelene Mota writes about the Concow tribe’s move from the Sacramento Valley to Fort Wright. Mota recalls how her tribe was like prior to the arrival of White Settlers, saying that the tribe “lived here in peace and harmony with nature and other tribes.” However, when the white settlers arrived, Mota explains the terrible acts they committed against the tribe by stealing food and young girls, sometimes selling them. This primary document helped me understand more as to how the native tribes were run off of their territory because the Concow people were literally run off and “over the edge of a high cliff, down into the water.” Mota describes Fort Wright as “beautiful”...

Consider if it is an original work, or whether it evaluates or comments on the works of others. Also consider the proximity, or how close the information is to a first-hand account or if it is after the fact. PRIMARY SOURCES DEFINED Primary sources are first-hand accounts or individual representations and creative works. It can also be said to be information that has been stated but not interpreted. They are created by those who have directly witnessed what they are describing, and bring us as close to the original event or thought as possible without being filtered, influenced or analyzed through interpretation. They tend to be original documents that don't usually describe or analyze work by others. Primary information is in its raw state Primary sources may be published or unpublished works.

Did you learn anything interesting along the way? I was able to pull up the three sources are good, and a straightforward resource sources, but some research was challenging like, trying to find Leo Szilard biography on the atomic bomb, which I found it on an interview with William Linoleate published his biography in the book of “Genius in the Shadows” (Kelly, William Linoleate 's Interview). I learn that the letters and the journals are very interesting history resources, which can help with my future project in class. Furthermore, the interviews are very helpful in a history research project because the questions give a breakdown on what some topics like biography, which might be discussing in my future project. 2....

...2 Define the distinctions between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources in a secondary search. The best way to distinct between the sources of secondary research is to define each. Primary sources are those that are direct and un-interpreted records of a subject that you are researching. A primary source can be just about anything such as books, artifacts, or even patents. Secondary sources are ones that build on primary sources. Analyzing, interpreting, and assessing primary information are examples of secondary. Tertiary sources are ones which present summaries of the current state of research topics. Some examples are dictionaries, web sites, or almanacs. The distinction between these can differ between subjects of research. If the subject for research was humanities then an example of a primary source would be letters by Martin Luther King. A secondary source could be a web site of his writings and finally the tertiary source could be an encyclopedia on the civil rights movement. 3 What problems of secondary data quality must researchers face? How can they deal with them? Using secondary data can sometimes cause problems. Although it can be quicker and sometimes cost effective there is always a chance of running in to these issues. The most cautious of these issues the researcher must be aware of is the reliability of the source. If the researcher were to sit in a meeting and take notes of a subject then they would be completely sure of the content of the notes...

...Tyler Fields Western Civ. 4/9/13 Primary Source Assignment #2 I am Gui le Gros, a Norman abbot, who was born into a very wealthy aristocratic family. My cousin, Henry the Fearful, is the head of our noble family and is in great prominence with the King of France. To commemorate the completion of the king’s new cathedral, my cousin wishes to chronicle the history of our glorious province of Normandy from its beginning in 911 to the current year. My cousin put me in charge of this task, so it is up to me to portray the history of Normandy and its people for the king. During this time European people began to advance economically, politically, and socially. Advancements in agriculture allowed the people to produce enough food to support the growing population. A feudal system began to take place that would shape Europe for history. Through these changing times, Normandy was a central focus for multiple nations. . (Brohpy, Cole, Robertson, and et al 350-353) Normandy is a province in North Western France, and the history of it begins with the conquest of England. After the Danish king Canute died, Edward the confessor took power over England. However, Edward did not have any children leading to a dispute over who would be his heir. The Anglo-Saxons decided to pick one of their own to be the heir. Harold Godwinson became the new king but he was quickly challenged but others who also believed they had claims to the throne. Harold Hardradi of Norway was the first challenge. He...

...Primary Sources Assignment Newton, John. “Amazing Grace.” Hymns of the 49th Parallel. 5th ed. New York: Baptist Hymnals Publishers, 1974. In the world of music, there are many songs that bring one joy, excitement, or delight. In other cases, there are songs that lead one to sadness, depression, or loneliness. However, there are also significantly few songs that reach down to the very depths of your heart and touch you in a way that is truly moving. This sort of emotion was felt when I heard the hymnal “Amazing Grace” by John Newton, and is still felt today. As a young child, I never really understood the complexity of the Holy Bible, the stories within it, or the ‘grace’ that is so freely offered. I often admittedly fell asleep in church or simply passed the time away by drawing funny pictorials of biblical characters I was supposed to learn about in Sunday school. Considering I was just like the other typical rebellious eight year old boys, this was quite acceptable in my opinion. Nevertheless, it wasn’t until one special Sunday evening service that I finally ‘came of age.’ The standard ‘boring’ service went on as it usually did and as the preacher summed up his message, my mother, the piano player, made her way up to the front of the sanctuary. As she began to play, the choir began to sing. I began to listen, and my heart began to melt. What was this song they were singing? Surely I had heard it. Only this time it was different. The melodious words, “Amazing...

...of both sides, establish one side was clearing in the wrong or right, and present the effects that doubt had on the science. The authors were quick to point out when in each case the doubt-mongers were making a situation dangerous and harmful to people and the environment. The effects which were presented was a lack of action on events that required either immediate attention or events that had very simple solutions. The science that Oreskes and Conway had presented in the book, for the most part, was presented in a very understandable manner while not diluting the substance of the subject matter. One thing to their credit was their thorough citation of a variety of sources. Oreskes and Conway never explicitly stated any of the information was their own and sought to find accurate evidence from reputable sources. This was because many "scientists" or scientists who did not know the field they were speaking in, presented their arguments, not in scientific journals but in a newspaper or magazine that would get a lot of press. Another correct approach Oreskes and Conway were their refraining from overly stating one side of an argument. It can be very easy to give the side of the argument that one agrees with more time and energy. They did not do so and attempted to even present the opposing and incorrect side with enough attention for the reader to understand the subject. This is not to say Oreskes and Conway conducted themselves completely scientifically balanced. One area they...

...Executive Summary This research report is a partial requirement of the internship phase of MBA program, department of HRM, Eastern UniversityBangladesh. The topic of the report is “Human Resource Management Practices in Pubali bank Ltd”. Human resources management is very much important for every business organization. Human Resources may be the most misunderstood of all corporate departments, but it’s also the most necessary. Those who work in Human Resources are not only responsible for hiring and firing; they also handle contacting job references and administering employee benefits. Human resource management is the process of acquiring, training, appraising, and compensating employees, and attending to their labor relations, health and safety, and fairness concerns. It’s true that any individual who works in Human Resources must be a “people person.” Since anyone in this department deals with a number of employees, as well as outside individuals, on any given day, a pleasant demeanor is a must. Human Resources may have gotten a bum rap, but it’s clearly among the most important departments in any corporation. The next time you have to meet with someone from Human Resources, remember that without her/him, your company might not be running so efficiently. The benefits of globalization have been very unevenly distributed both between and within nations. At the same time a host of social problems have emerged or intensified, creating increased hardship, insecurity, and anxiety...
