WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -A Historian is someone who professionally researches, teaches and writes about past events to contribute to a shared understanding of how mankind has developed. Their duties include seeking out primary resources, interpreting documents and sharing hypotheses about the past.

Detailed explanation-2: -Historical objectivity stands for what is true and the real. It implies the state of being free from personal bias and sentimental approach and the state of not being one sided, personal and partial. Being what is real, it will be the same, who ever writes it.

Detailed explanation-3: -The critical first step is source analysis that incorporates the processes of critiquing authorship, relationship, perspective, and bias. Observations indicate that historians engage in sourcing first before they read the documents, but non-historians rarely practice sourcing (Wineburg 1991a).

Detailed explanation-4: -Historians use primary sources as the raw evidence to analyze and interpret the past. They publish secondary sources-often scholarly articles or books-that explain their interpretation.
