Use a well-known and well-characterized compound with a carefully measured concentration. If doing an acid-base titration always use a strong base or a strong acid, and not a weak one.

This is a very general question and it would help if it were more specific. You might standardize reagents because you're performing an experiment where you need to do multiple trials. In each trial there will be some variability, whether it's due to the operator or the day to day conditions. Standardizing reagents and controls will allow you to compare experimental results over the course of the entire experiment. Without standardized controls, you would not be able to tell whether the varying results were due to random error or actual deviation of the experiment.

A titrant must be standardized to analyze unknown acids. This must be performed to determine the amount of mol of that acid that will react to the titrant.

To realize a correct titration and calculus we need to know the concentration of the titrant. Titration of a unknown solution with an unknown titrant has no sense.

For calculation (determination of a an analyte concentration) in volumetry we need to know exactly the the concentration of any titrant.

How does back titration differ from a direct titration?

direct titration involves the direct and stepwise addition of a standard titrant to the analyte whilst the back titration involves reacting a standard excess titrant wth an analyte solution of an unknown concentration, then reacting the excess (left over) titrant with an analyte of known concentration to determine the concentration of excess titrant.
