Who was the intended audience for the primary source? o The academic audience, readers of the International Affairs journal. Why was the primary source created? o To examine the reasons why states established the UN system after World War II and to explore subsequent factors related to ideas, norms, principles, standards, and the involvement of non-state participants. Whose perspective(s) is presented in the source? o The author's perspective on the reasons for establishing the UN system and the subsequent factors. Both Sources Analyze the primary sources relevant to your historical event for the presence of bias. Source One may have a positive bias towards the United Nations, given Gladwyn Jebb's role in its establishment. Source Two, authored by T.G. Weiss, might have a more critical bias, examining reasons for the UN's creation and exploring subsequent factors. Compare how your historical event is represented in your primary sources. Both sources discuss the establishment and role of the United Nations, with Source One focusing on its position during the Cold War, and Source Two examining reasons for its establishment after World War II and subsequent factors. While Source One provides a historical perspective from 1953, Source Two offers a more contemporary analysis from 2015. 2
