Being able to change your opinions according to the facts and also gain more objectivity and competence in understanding.

The first article I found Is Refugees and Asylees in the United States ( J Zong , J Batalova 2015)
This article talks about how The United States is the top place for refugees to settle. This article gives you a clear understanding of what a Refugee is and what a asylee is. It gives you prior information and DATA to show the reader how the refugee crisis has grown over the years and how many people are entering the United States and how many people are still waiting to have approval to enter into the United States. The article also uses history in the article to talk about the Refugee Act of 1980 and the UN Refugee Convention. The  authors  are  using critical thinking skills because they are using facts through DATA and History the authors are not showing in bias on the issue just stating facts .
