MODULE 4: IDENTIFYING TYPES OF

CLAIMS
Prepared by: Krely A. Dizon
WHAT IS A CLAIM?
▪A claim is a statement
essentially arguable but
used as a primary point to
support or prove an
argument.
WHAT IS A CLAIM?
▪In an extended argument, claim is
labeled as proposition. Since claims
challenge the beliefs or opinions of
others, they require support in a form
of reason and information, whereas
other kinds of statements do not.
CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD CLAIMS:
▪1. A claim should be arguable and
debatable.
▪2. A claim should be focused and
specific.
▪3. A claim should be interesting and
engaging.
▪4. A claim should be logical.
THREE TYPES OF CLAIMS

▪1. CLAIM OF FACT

▪2. CLAIM OF VALUE
▪3. CLAIM OF POLICY
 1. CLAIM OF FACT
▪Claims of fact relate to statements that can be
verified as they rely on actual information for
support.
▪It states a quantifiable assertion, or
measurable topic.
▪They assert that something has existed, exists,
or will never exist based on data.
 EXAMPLES
-The climate will get warmer in
the next few years because of
global warming.

-Cancer is a common disease

but it is not contagious
 EXAMPLES
▪Stiffer penalties for drunk
driving have led to fewer traffic
fatalities.
Explanation: The statement asserts that there is a relationship between traffic fatalities and drunk driving rules.
Although it may be true, it is an interpretation of traffic.

▪Computer games improve the

logical thinking skills of the
gamers.
▪Claims of fact usually answer
a “WHAT” question.
▪When determining whether
something is a claim of fact,
the following questions can be
considered:
▪• Is this issue related to a possible
cause or effect?
▪• Is this statement true or false? How
can its truthfulness be verified?
▪• Is this claim controversial or
debatable?
 MORE EXAMPLES
▪1. Generally, public secondary
schools in the Philippines are not
adequately preparing students for
college.
▪ 2. Converting to solar energy can
save homeowners money.
▪In general, claims of fact are opinions
drawn by inference which involves
proving the inference that you have
made is reasonable.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A WELL-ARGUED
CLAIM OF FACT:
▪It states the main argument and defines
vague and controversial terms.
▪It is supported with factual information
such as statistics, testimony, and
observation.
▪It uses sufficient, accurate, and recent
evidence which are organized to
emphasize the main argument.
 2. CLAIM OF VALUE
▪Claim of value assert something that can be
qualified. They consist of arguments about
moral, philosophical, or aesthetic topics.
▪ These types of topics try to prove that some
values are desirable compared to others.
▪They make judgments, based on certain
standards, on whether something is right or
wrong, good or bad, or something similar.
EXAMPLES
1. Death penalty is unjust.
2. It is better to have loved
and lost, than never to
have love at all.
 EXAMPLES
▪ 1. Drunk driving is one of the most selfish things a
person can do.
Explanation: In this statement, it asserts that the act of drunk driving is selfish (wrong).
Although it may be widely accepted, this is a personal judgment that expresses
disapproval.

▪ 2. Schools are doing everything they can to prepare

graduating students for college.
This asserts what the school is doing is sufficient (good). Just like the previous statement, this can
also be widely accepted since this is a personal judgement that expresses approval.

3. The effect of violent tv programs on the

minor is bad.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A WELL-ARGUED
CLAIM OF VALUE:
▪It may assert that the value being defended
will produce good results, as long as it backed
up by reliable information.
▪It cites experts on the field who support the
claim to make the argument more effective.
▪It draws on real-world examples and
illustrations to make the abstract values clear.
 3. CLAIM OF POLICY
▪Claim of policy is an argument which asserts
the implementation of a certain policy.
▪This is driven by the need to present a
solution to problems that have arisen;
sometimes it is given as a response to claims
of facts.
▪It generally state solutions and plans that are
procedural and organized.
 EXAMPLES
▪1. A dress code should be
introduced for all students.
▪2. We should lower the age of
criminal liability from 15 years old
to 9 years old.
 EXAMPLES
▪ 1. Even stricter penalties should be handed out to
drunk drivers.
▪ Explanation: This statement asserts that stricter penalties should exist. In order to
support this, one would need to prove that current condition is less desirable than
they would be under this new system of stricter penalties.

▪ 2. Everyone who is at the right age must register

and cast his/her vote in the incoming 2023
Barangay Election.
QUESTIONS OF POLICY INCLUDE:
▪What should be done?
▪How can we solve this problem?
▪What course of action should we
pursue?
▪ What should not be done?
MORE EXAMPLES
▪1. Schools should use more rigorous
exit assessments to ensure that
students are prepared for college.
▪2. Instead of loaning for oil in some
Asian countries, we should be
focusing on ways to reduce oil
consumption, such as researching
renewable energy sources.
