  1. Identify whether or not the article is a primary or secondary source and explain how you know this.
  2. Are these primary or secondary sources??

Primary sources

These are contemporary accounts of an event, written by someone who experienced or witnessed the event in question. These original documents (i.e., they are not about another document or account) are often diaries, letters, memoirs, journals, speeches, manuscripts, interviews and other such unpublished works. They may also include published pieces such as newspaper or magazine articles (as long as they are written soon after the fact and not as historical accounts), photographs, audio or video recordings, research reports in the natural or social sciences, or original literary or theatrical works.
Secondary sources

The function of these is to interpret primary sources, and so can be described as at least one step removed from the event or phenomenon under review. Secondary source materials, then, interpret, assign value to, conjecture upon, and draw conclusions about the events reported in primary sources. These are usually in the form of published works such as journal articles or books, but may include radio or television documentaries, or conference proceedings.

 

  1. Explain why you chose the article and why it is of interest to you. Please add 100 words to each sentence. This are my answers and only need additional wordage.
  2. Drugs and thugs hits closer to home and is an encounter I’m more likely to face ogg with during my duties.
  3. The revolutionary guard in my opinion is not taken as serious as, in the news for example, as say Russian or Chinese interventions globally. I was in Iraq several years ago and new a few Iranians.
  4. Drones are advancing daily. So, the laws and regulations governing the owners of drones are created just as quickly. The government seems to react quicker to new technology rather than eliminating inadequate taxes.
