Discursive - elating to discourse or modes of discourse. "The attempt to transform utterances from one discursive context to another"

Discourse -Discourse creates social identities or subject positions or types of self (Fairclough 1992) understood here as installations or effects of power – not as autonomous, permanent, authentic or bounded entities (Buckhardt 2014)

Critical theories aim to dig beneath the surface of social life and uncover the assumptions that keep us from a full and true understanding of how the world works (Bohman, 2016).
Bohman, James. "Critical Theory", The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Fall 2016 Edition), Edward N. Zalta (ed.)
Critical theory is a school of thought that stresses the reflective assessment and critique of society and culture by applying knowledge from the social sciences and the humanities (Wikipedia, 2018).

These are often at the expense of the people who are most vulnerable. Critical theory aims to consider all aspects of an international action with the goal of identifying ways change the idealogy and in turn the negative social impacts of a structural realist action.

A fact is a thing that is proven to be true, many times in articles they have made judgments or assumptions that may look like facts but actually have no evidence to support this.
