What is CLAIM?

A claim is an expressed opinion or a conclusion that the arguer or writer wants to be accepted by audience. In extended arguments, the claim is often labeled a proposition. In making claims, arguers advance statements with which they believe others will disagree. Because claims challenge the beliefs or opinions of others, they require support in the form of reasons and information, whereas other kinds of statements do not.

In general, claims are part of any written or oral arguments or propositions. These are assertation of facts or belief that need to be supported with evidences. As you start developing your claim for your argument, you will find it helpful to focus not onlyon what you want to argue, but how you want to argue it. We can categorize almost all arguments as belonging to one of the following types of claims.

TYPES OF CLAIMS

CLAIMS OF VALUE

CLAIMS OF FACT

CLAIMS OF POLICY

Claims of Fact

Defending this type of claims:

  • Be sure that the claim is clearly stated.
  • Define terms (scientific, critical, or technical) that may be controversial or confusing.
  • Make sure that your evidence is sufficient, accurate, recent, and comes from reliable authorities.
  • Make clear when conclusions are inferences or interpretations, not facts.
  • Arrange your evidence in order to emphasize what is most important.

Claims of Fact

EXAMPLES:

  • 1. Generally, public secondary schools in the Philippines are not adequately preparing students for college.
  • 2. The death penalty as used in some countries like US, China, Iran and Yemen is ineffective and impractical.
  • 3. Converting to solar energy can save homeowners money.
  • 4. Neil Armstrong was the first man to step foot on the moon.
  • 5. Obesity causes health problems.

Title here

Euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip

  • Nulla facilisis at vero
  • Dignissim qui blandit
  • Augue duis dolore
  • Lorem ipsum dolor
  • Sed diam nonummy
  • Solore magna aliquam
  • Lorem ipsum dolor
  • Sed diam nonummy
  • Solore magna aliquam
  • Exerci tation
  • Duis autem vel eum
  • Elit esse molestie

Claims of Values

- Attempt to prove that some things are more or less desirable than others. Questions of value include:

  • Is it good or bad?
  • Is it right or wrong?
  • How moral or immoral?
  • Of what worth is it? Who says so?
  • Is it ethical or unethical?

Claims of Values

Defending this type of claim:

  • Make clear that the vales or principles you are depending should have priority on a scale of values over competing values or principles others might defend.
  • Suggest that adherence to the values you are defending will bring about good results.
  • Since values are abstract, you should use real-word examples as illustrations to clarify meanings and make distinctions.
  • It is highly persuasive to use the testimony of others to prove that knowledgeable or highly regarded people share your values.

Claims of Values

EXAMPLES:

Claims of Policy

Defending this type of claim:

  • When you are defending a claim of policy, you must make your proposal clear. Terms should be precisely defined.
  • When you are defending this claim of policy, if necessary, establish that there is a need for change.
  • When you are defending this claim of policy, consider the opposing arguments. You may want to state them in a brief paragraph in order to answer them in the body of your argument.
  • When you are defending this claim of policy, devote the major part of your research paper to proving your proposal is an answer to the opposing arguments.
  • Support your proposal with solid data, but don’t neglect moral and common sense reasons, which may be even more persuasive.

Claims of Policy

EXAMPLES:

  • 1. Bringing of electronic gadgets like laptops and iPods should be banned in schools.
  • 2. I think we need to elect the Supreme Court.
  • 3. You should support restrictions on abortion.
  • 4. 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.
  • 5. People living in polluted areas should start thinking hoe to recycle their wastes so that they can make other alternatives and livelihood as well.

Remember

All kinds of claims may be also be explicitly or implicitly made. EXPLICIT TEXTUAL EVIDENCE- stated directly in the passage. Example: It was a dark and stormy night. IMPLICIT TEXTUAL EVIDENCE- not stated directly, but reader understands it because of clues in the text. Example: The trees were swaying wildly outside Anne’s window as she prepared for bed, and the gutters were overflowing.

Remember

The type of thesis or claims you use for your arguments will depend on your position and knowledge on the topic. You may opt to start with one type of claim you will probably end your paper by using different types of claim. Regardless of the type of the claim you choose to make it, this is a key to identify the controversy or debate you are addressing and to define your position early on the paper.
