Approach adapted in the articles The article “The visual dehumanisation of refugees” by Roland, David, Emma and Xzarina applies the interpretive approach of qualitative research. In this approach, it is usually subjective to the constructed reality and seeks to affirm the relative truths (Walsh, 2001, p.90).

As an american citizen I strongly believe that the us should accept refugees because it's the message we’ve put out to the public. Those who need help will receive our help.
