Question

Bridging the gap? Claim of fact, claim of policy, claim of value

Answer 1

Claim of fact

Asserts whether there has been,  persists or will be a condition.  Based on the truth, or acknowledged  as reasonably verifiable by the audience.  Factual arguments  are non-negotiable.

Claim of Value

There are two general areas where  people usually disagree over importance matters.  

1. Aesthetics- The study of beauty and the fine arts. The Rogerian approach to dispute resolution can be helpful in addressing conflicts over determining criteria.

2. Morality- Direct decision about rightness or misconduct of behavior or belief. Disagreements are as simple and as profound.

Claim of Policy- Stipulates that particular plans or courses of  action should be developed as solutions to problems.
