BSCPE 211 What would happen if internal criticism were not practiced by historians? Internal Criticism is an element of historical methodology that establishes the veracity of the information in the document. Meaning that we are defending the veracity of the primary sources or documents through internal criticism. Internal criticism is the result, not practice. First, even if the main source is false, historians continue to assert and validate it. Because we are putting our faith in something that has never been done before, it would generate turmoil and be difficult for us. In addition, it is challenging for us to comprehend and study history because sources are crucial to learning everything. We could Face struggle if not being practice. Last, the historical evidence would not be utilized well in learning about our history, Historians could argue to their stand just to justify the evidence. It checks the physical characteristics of the papers to see if they are the primary source, unlike external criticism. When was it typically written? How was it written? How come it survived? In Positive Critique, also known as Internal Criticism, the researcher and exegete engage in positive criticism to restore the meaning of words, regardless of who the true author is. Meaning that we could explain the second story or eyewitness testimony. The primary documents' internal coherence and accuracy in constructive criticism, the historian and exegete evaluate the text's literal meaning and the statement's true intent. Literal meanings are a document's initial interpretations, which frequently deceive inexperienced readers. Hockett asserts that in the latter case, the critic investigates the possibility that the statement's author had to be aware of the facts, i.e., an eyewitness versus the circumstances in which the witness observed the event, the witness's relationship to other witness accounts, the position of observation, etc. This is when determining the text's meaning begins. Additional sources that should be compared in the same way. It is important for us to rely on the truth and verified original papers, not to be fooled and to be immature of what happened in the past. His history is based on press reports, which may be tainted by concerns of association and patronage. In our generation, we must be willing to acknowledge and accept our own history. We must keep our eyes wide open so that the past's tragedies and errors do not recur.
