2. What is a source?
 There are two types of sources we will be using:
primary and secondary.
 The primary source is the original text you read, such as
Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics.
 The secondary source is the article you will find that deals
with the topic you are discussing in your paper.
 Both the primary and the secondary sources must be
cited.
