accept.

2 TYPES OF CLAIMS:
1. EXPLICIT CLAIM
2. IMPLICIT CLAIM
THREE TYPES OF CLAIMS:

1. CLAIM OF FACT
2. CLAIM OF VALUE
3. CLAIMS OF POLICY
 1. CLAIM OF FACT
A claim asserts some empirical
truth.
An argument with strong
evidence presented
EXAMPLE: School is the most
important part of education
 2. CLAIMS OF VALUE
A claim asserts judgment.
A claim is based on things we like or
dislike. Hence,it deals
with the goal of what value us most.

limited resources is more valuable
than working abroad.

should be taken.
