D. Discussion
Assertion is a stylistic approach or technique involving a
strong declaration, a forceful or confident and positive
statement regarding a belief or a fact. Often, it is without
proof or any support. It is an honest and appropriate
expression of one’s feelings, opinions, and needs.
Assertion is defined as a declarative sentence that claim
something is true about something else.
There are four common types of assertion:
Common Types of Assertion (according to degree
of certainty)
1. FACT - This is a statement that can be proven
objectively by direct experience, testimonies of
witnesses, verified observations, or the results of
research.
Example: The Earth revolves around the Sun.
2. CONVENTION - It is a way in which something is
done similar to traditions and norms. Conventions
depend on historical precedent, laws, rules, usage,
and customs.
Example: It is customary to shake hands when
meeting someone for the first time.
2. OPINION - It is not based on facts and is difficult to
objectively verify because of the uncertainty of producing
satisfactory proofs of soundness.
Example: Pineapple on pizza is a delicious
combination.
3. PREFERENCE - It is based on personal choice;
therefore, they are subjective and cannot be objectively
proven or logically attacked.
Example: I prefer listening to classical music over
hip-hop.
IV. Application

O 4. Social media has a negative impact on society.
E. Values Infusion

undertakings? Why?
V.ASSESSMENT
