When evaluating past eras, historians depend on primary documents and other resources to understand the events and cultures. for instance, it would be difficult to evaluate why people incentive thought earth was at the center of the solar system unless you analyzed documents from the time in which the idea was relevant. what difficulties do you think might arise when trying to understand from the past, especially when those ideas are so different from our modern thinking? do you think primary resources show a complete picture of the period they are from? give an example or two to illustrate your answer. fast

The difficulties that normally arise when trying to understand from the past are the misconception of cultures and the general view of terms. As an example, many people consider slavery as a cause of capitalism but the fact is that slavery has existed for a long period of time and it is older than the first human records.

Primary sources do not always show the complete picture of the period they are from because sometimes these sources include only the point of view of one person and the incidents they went through.
