I. Meaning of History

1
History is the investigation of the past keeping in mind the end
goal to grasp the significance and progression of the connection
amongst circumstances and end results in the general advancement of
human social orders (Nasson, 2009).

History does not intend to record each massive detail of an occasion

but to decipher and break down its significance in human comprehension
of how and why changes happen. Moreover, it does not only focus in the
past but rather engaging on its relationship with the present and
also, the future.
2
During the post-modern writing, history shows up as a basically
trivial and baffling arrangement of irregular occasions or mishaps. It
is administered by no laws that people can understand. (Woods, 2002)

History, by then, was basically the story of occasions from the

past. Amid those circumstances, history and story were similarly
connected which inferred no required confirmation in the event that it
truly happened.

History turned into the character of sorted out learning of the past
which sifted the less recorded records and dreamed events¬ which can
either be oral orw1written between 15th and 16th century.
3Moreover,
Carr (1961) stated that history is the unending dialogue
between the present and the past. This opened broader understanding
regarding history, in a sense that it does not only serve as a
compilation of documented past events but a comprehension of the
present through the past.

The definition and comprehension of history gradually changes

through time and through the influence of the development in the
society.

II. Historicity of text

4History is the extended text and text condenses history (Fu, 2016).

In analyzing a certain article or text which happened in the past

and is relevant, it is not only the text alone that should be
criticized. It is important to consider the writer’s influence in the
creating process and so as the reader’s interpreting process.

III. Historiography

Historiography is the investigation of the techniques for historians

in creating history as a scholastic teach, and by augmentation in
anyone of authentic work on a specific subject.

This allows validating if the source is reliable and authentic

through examining and investigating the writing history of a history
and so as the authenticity of details in the text.

IV. Philosophy of History

Philosophy of history is the core of historiography which examines

the theoretical cores of how history and historiography works.

V. Relationship of History to other branches of social sciences

a. Economics
History is the investigation of occasions. It takes a
gander at every occasion thus, and keeping in mind that it may
recognize examples, the beginning stage is dependably the
examination of the contextual analysis, the specific entry of
time.

Economics is the investigation of examples. Financial specialists

search for the likenesses of various occasions, and ask
regardless of whether they boost a specific monetary hypothesis
or model.
b. Political Science
Every political institution — State, Government,
Legislature, Executive, Judiciary and others—have a past filled
with advancement behind them. Without studying their history,
Political Science can't generally think about their contemporary
nature, position and relations among these. 2

c. Anthropology

History and anthropology are both related to human actions.

Social anthropology discusses human actions which cause social
events.

History presents a description of these events. Social

anthropology studies the origin of civilization and culture and
reactions of evolution, etc.

d. Psychology
History and Psychology are likewise firmly connected. A
history specialist must need to demonstrate some mental
experiences while making an examination of the intention and
activities of people and social orders. History specialist work
would be simple fiction except if he utilizes the revelations of
present day brain science.
The individual life and the earth of a student of history
has an immediate bearing in his choice and regularly import a
predisposition to his record and renders the much wanted
objectivity inconceivable.

e. Sociology
History shows an ordered record of past occasions of the
human culture. It is the sociology, which manages past occasions
and concentrates the past social, political and financial parts
of a nation

VI. Distinction between primary and secondary sources

5With
regards to research and inquiry, there are two kinds of
sources: primary sources and secondary sources. Primary sources are
direct records of a point while secondary sources are any record of
something that is anything but an essential source. Distributed
research, daily paper articles, and other media are common auxiliary
sources. Optional sources can, nonetheless, refer to both primary
sources and secondary sources(Coe, 2016).3

Primary sources are first hand evidence while secondary sources

are basically interpretation or understanding over a concept that has
been originally presented first.
