    CONCEPTS:

    A claim is a single statement which can be the topic of an


    argument.
    A claim of fact is a statement about how things were in the past,
    how they are in the present, or how they will be in the future. A
    claim of fact is not a fact, it only claims to be a fact. In general,
    claims of facts are opinions drawn by inference and can be
    objectively proven.

    Example:
    “Stiffer penalties for drunk driving have led to fewer traffic
    fatalities.”
    6
    EXAMPLES:

    1. In our right-handed world, left-handed people are


    discriminated against.

    2. Converting to solar power will save


    homeowners a lot of money.

    3. Fewer and fewer graduating seniors are prepared


    for college writing and math classes.
    7
    A claim of value is an arguable statement
    concerning the relative merits of something
    which is measured subjectively. A claim of
    value can be arguable because different
    people may disagree in the criteria used to
    evaluate something.

    8
    Examples:

    1. Boracay is a better place to go for


    summer vacation than Baguio City.
    2. Safety is more important than
    freedom.
    3. It is better to give than to receive.
    9
    Claim of policy is a statement regarding the merits of a
    course of action to take.

    This type of statement usually makes use of the word


    “should.” To argue in defense of a policy claim is to state
    that, given what we know now, it’s best to act in the
    manner proposed.

    In short, this is the plan of action that must be taken in


    order to solve a problem.
    10
    Examples:

    1.The death penalty should be abolished.

    2. You should come shopping with me.

    3. The school should be stricter in terms of


    security to prevent untoward incidents.
