or claims that can be proven or disproved
with the help of factual evidence. This fact

implement better projects needed
by its citizens.”
Claims of Value

assertion as to whether something is good

than another. This also emphasizes and
weighs the benefits of the subject matter.
This is debatable in nature since people may
have different opinions on the given claims
or concepts
Examples:
“Taking vitamins is better than
eating fruits and vegetables in
terms of boosting our immune
system.”

“The city’s health department
must learn from how other cities
successfully address the
concerns against COVID-19.”
Claims of Policy

not be done to address a certain case or

should be carried out either in support or
in opposition of a particular
argument.
