CLAIM
is a statement that an author
discusses, explains, or proves in
his writing. It also serves as an
argument in an essay, and it is
developed using evidence.
TYPES OF ARGUMENT CLAIMS
FACT
whether the statement is factual or untrue.
- This is a statement that asserts whether something
is true or untrue. It argues that a statement is indeed
a fact, or it defines a particular term. Often, this type
of claim is verifiable and takes an objective position.
EXAMPLES:
Global warming will destroy
Earth a billion years from now.
Illegal logging results in the loss of
habitats and biodiversity.
TYPES OF ARGUMENT CLAIMS
DEFINITION
the dictionary meaning of what
you’re arguing, plus your own
personal understanding of it.
TYPES OF ARGUMENT CLAIMS
VALUE
the significance of what you’re arguing.
This type of claim attempts to establish the merit
or importance of something. It takes a more
subjective position unlike claims of fact. It
involves a judgment, evaluation, or appraisal of
something.
EXAMPLES:
a) It is unfair to blame only the government for
our country’s environmental problems.
b) The government’s firm stand on the
implementation of total log ban is commendable.
c) It is unjust that high school teachers in public
schools in the Philippines are paid only a small
salary.
TYPES OF ARGUMENT CLAIMS
CAUSE AND EFFECT
what causes the
problem in your essay
and what effect it has.
TYPES OF ARGUMENT CLAIMS
POLICY
why the reader should care and what they should do about it after
reading.
This is a statement that presents a specific course of action
that needs to be undertaken in order to solve a problem. This
type of claim may also be used to argue against an already
existing policy or solution. Key words used in claims of policy
are should, must, and ought to.
EXAMPLES:
Since global warming is a serious threat to the environment, the government
should implement a law that requires every citizen to join the campaign
against global warming.
The government should implement a total log ban nationwide, as illegal
logging can have a severe impact on the environment such as loss of habitats
and biodiversity.
The government should raise the salary of high school teachers in public
school in order to boost their motivation and morale as well as improve the
quality of education of high school students in the public school system.
TRIP TO STATION
Statement 1: Sex education should be part of the public-school
curriculum.
Statement 2: Though student demonstrations may be less evident than
they were in the 1960s, students are more politically active than ever.
Statement 3: North Korean Laws is considered as the strictest law in the
world.
Statement 4: By examining what it means to ‘network,’ it’s clear that
social networking sites encourage not networking but something else
entirely.
Statement 5: By seeking to replicate the experience of reading physical
books, new hardware and software will lead to an appreciation of printed
and bound texts for years to come.
How do we choose
evidence to support our
opinions in writing?
