    Arguments
    ARGUMENT/S
    •An argument is an expression of one’s point of
    view on a particular subject or topic often called
    a “Claim” or a “Thesis Statement” presented with
    shreds of evidence and resources supporting the
    idea which aims for the reader to either do
    something or believe into something to be true or
    correct.
    •Example: “The cost of living in
    Sipalay City is lower than in most
    cities in Negros Occidental”.
    •From the given statement, the
    writer presented an argument
    about the cost of living in Sipalay
    City as compared to other cities
    in Negros Occidental
    Claim/s
    A claim is the main argument of the essay which
    is considered the most important part of an
    academic paper. It defines your paper’s goals,
    directions, scope and exigence and is supported
    by evidence, quotations, argumentation, expert’s
    opinions, statistics, and telling details.
    •THREE TYPES OF CLAIMS
    1. CLAIM OF FACT
    2. CLAIM OF VALUE
    3. CLAIM OF POLICY
    •A Claim of Fact is a statement asserting
    that something has existed, does exist, or
    will exist. It is not a fact; it only claims to be a
    fact. Hence, the claim is debatable whether it
    is true or false.
    •Example: The Philippine Economy will
    bounce back higher before the end of this
    year.
    •The statement is a claim of fact (future)
    which is to be proven to be true or false
    come to the end of this year.
    •A Claim of Value is a statement asserting
    something to be good or bad or that
    something is better than the other one or that
    something is more or less desirable.
    •Example. Harry potter is the best movie of
    all time.
    •Here, the claim is asserting the value of the
    said movie as best than the other movies
    •A Claim of Policy is a statement urging that
    some conditions should exist, or that
    something should be or should not be done.
    This claim advocates the adoption of policies
    or courses of action due to problems that
    have occurred and call for a solution.
    •Example: Legislation should be passed
    mandating the conduct of Online Voter’s
    Registration amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
    • 
    •The claim here asserts that the government
    should provide a policy for the conduct of
    online voter registration amid a pandemic.
    •How many types of Claims are there?
    •What is the clue word for the Claim of
    Policy?
    •What is the clue word or manner to
    determine for the Claim of Value?
    •How do you differentiate the Claim of fact
    from other Claims?
    •When can you say a statement or text is
    argumentative?
