The discussion and techniques of oral history cannot be ignored. The phenomenon of oral history brings to new aspects that have long been obscured by the rigidity of historical documents. Nevertheless, there are three key factors that focus. These can serve as both a paradigm or conceptual framework and a basis for critical analysis. The first factor is personality. The individual is defined by their personality, which necessitates an ability to correlate data validation with the interviewee's character. The second factor concerns culture. Culture encompasses a value system that shapes a specific mentality, revealing a connection between the zeitgeist (spirit of the times) of a given period and the perspective taken on a particular phenomenon. Finally, there is the social dimension. The individual is distinct from the social realm, which represents the interactions among the individuals involved. Together, these three factors form the fundamental backdrop for conducting oral history in a manner that is comprehensive, structured, and compliant with prevailing social ethical standards.
