A significant portion of the sources used are primary documents that reflect the authors’ interpretation of the society and human beings. The group will gain analytical skills by incorporating the work by Darwin, Plato, Hobbes, and Aristotle in the project due to assessment of the original ideas (Vest 17). All the authors participated in the events that prompted their works and thus the sources will offer original thoughts on the society and human. With original ideas, the group members will appreciate the changes that have occurred in the society and relate the differences to the original ideas. The group has several sources with different cons and pros based on the evidence in the material. Use of several primary sources ensures the cons in one source balance with the pros in the, which is essential in promoting the credibility of the documents used. For instance, the view by Hobbes that king is law is counterbalanced by the governing plans advocated for by Plato. Thus, the different sources will help the members focus on the ideal arguments from all the others and discern those ideas that do not reflect an organized society. It is essential to recognize other contemporary authors have improved the original works by Plato and Aristotle. Thus, using the work by Darwin, Plato, Hobbes, and Aristotle will help the students in the group to understand the process of determining the biased ideas about the society and ways of correcting the personalized interpretation through evidence-based studies.

The sources are also crucial in learning about social generalization and how they affect the well-being of the society. Overall, the sources are essential in improving students’ level of assessment and questioning the history to have a comprehensive understanding of the society.
