HI, NEED HELP WITH SOCIAL SCIENCe?

Question

Can someone please tell me the difference between primary and secondary sources of data and primary and secondary sources of reading. I think that primary data is data gathered yourself and secondary is second hand but I have not got a clue about primary or secondary reading, PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

primary source would be an account of an event by someone who witnessed it. a secondary source would be like an encyclopedia, or newspaper, basically a factual account of an event that was written down or told be someone who didn't witness the event.

Answer 2

primary is prove of something . Like a diary a child had while slaverly was going on...

secondy is watching a move it came out later. Its not prove its just like sum1 telling you. Understand ;) Hope I helped!
