This article proves to be a thinking question. There are many objective way to look at this type of question. I feel both should be able to rate the articles. On one side, if you agree with the articles it would make it easier to rate, but yet may leave the traces of rating on a bias level, which may or may not be intentional. At least you would be able to read through the articles which may lead to a more clarified decision of how to rate and why they chose to rate it the way they had done. One the other side, to disagree with the articles may leave you rating because you disagree.

Most of the time we try to block our own bias opinions and do the best we feel we can on an objective plain. I feel to really accurately know the potential of the article or the writer, is to pair that piece with both types of people who agree and disagree. You will then see both sides of the spectrum of people. You will than be seeing how the people reading it think leading to a better piece in the future on that topic.

To know both sides and how people think or react to a certain topic will open doors for more people concerns on that topic. And if you are a person who disagrees or if you are a person who agrees, this written piece may broaden their horizons of that topic. If one has a written piece that is on a topic I disagree with, yet has put forth great efforts in making a good point, than that is what they have, a great piece. I may still keep my own opinion and disagree, yet my out look on what was written may be different, or I may think since they have written a point that I may not have thought of before than I may be willing to change my mind and agree with them.

Either way your horizons will be broadened. so in this article I feel to have a better rating you need to have both types of people rating. But to pick one side, I feel that person rating that article need to agree with the topic, so they will have to be rating objectively and not bias. I try very hard to be objective with every thing I read that needs a clear cut decision to find its potential to be objective. Yet as me being solely human, find it be objective with everything I read here is difficult.

Still I do it and than get on to the rest of the articles. Agreeing with the articles, or its topic, will give the rater more of interest in what is written, to be able to read through all the articles put to them. Many find it hard not to skip the articles and still have skips left to use. Being objective is not an easy task yet can be done. Still in most cases I feel to have good ratings on a written piece you need to have both types of people rating, but I feel agreeing with a piece makes for a better determination on have an objective opinion for rating it.
