Fact Claim
- 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 fact claim is not a fact; it only
claims to be a fact. What makes it arguable is that the speaker has no direct
way of establishing the truth of the claim. For example, "The Earth is round"
is a fact claim. "In our righthanded world, left-handed people are
discriminated against" is a fact claim.

Value Claim
-are arguable statements concerning the relative merits of something which
is measured subjectively (e.g., "Hawaii is a better place to go for summer
vacation than Colorado."). What makes a value claim arguable is that
different people may disagree on the criteria used to evaluate something
(e.g., weather, live entertainment, water sports). Defending a value claim
involves offering a set of criteria for consideration, defending the set of
criteria as legitimate and showing how applying the criteria justifies the
claim. Often value claims are comparative.

Policy Claim
-is a statement regarding the merits of a course of action. What makes it
arguable is that, even though people may not be totally certain about the
proper course of action to take, they still must act. 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.
