How can I validate the accuracy of my statement?

Provide a thorough, but brief, summary of the political issue. An understanding of the issue should be developed by reading the articles uncovered during research for the assignment. The information provided in the summary will lay the foundation for you to react and respond to (analyze) the political issue. Be sure to properly cite within the text (according to MLA style) any information that you obtained from one of your sources. Citations must be provided, even for paraphrased information.
Present your perspective on the political issue. Think critically about the topic discussed in the articles and clearly express your thoughts about it in writing. Consider eight standards for critical thinking (Paul and Elder, 2103): clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logic, and fairness. Ask questions, such as 1.How can I validate the accuracy of my statement?
2.How is this information relevant?
3.How does my conclusion address the complexities of the issue?
4.What is another interpretation or viewpoint of the issue?
5.Does my conclusion follow from the data and/or statements I have provided?
