What is It

Types of Claims
Claims usually fall into one of three types: fact,
value, and policy.
1. Claims of Fact
A claim of fact makes an assertion about something
that can be proved or disproved with factual
evidence. However, keep in mind the basic quality
of claims, that they have to be debatable, and offer
an assertion about an issue. So a claim of fact for a
logical argument cannot simply consist of a statistic
or proven fact. It needs, instead, to focus on an
assertion which uses facts to back it up, but for
which the evidence might still be debatable.
Inappropriate claim of fact – a statistic
or fact that is not debatable:
“the month of March 2017 was 1.03°C
(1.9°F) above the 20th century average
—this marked the first time the
monthly temperature departure from
average surpassed 1.0°C (1.8°F) in the
absence of an El Niño episode in the
tropical Pacific Ocean.”
Appropriate claim of fact – makes a
claim that is debatable using factual
evidence: Decreasing carbon dioxide
emissions from car exhaust,
manufacturing processes, fertilizers,
and landfills, while slowing
deforestation, may help slow the
process of global warming.
2. Claims of Value
A claim of value argues that something is
good or bad, or that one thing is better
than another thing.

Sample claims of value:


It’s better to apply good nutritional
choices at home than teach them at
school, because good nutrition then
becomes ingrained in the child’s
experience. Although immunotherapy
has produced some good results in
fighting cancer, overall it is less effective
than chemotherapy.
3. Claims of Policy
A claim of policy argues that certain conditions should exist,
or that something should or should not be done, in order to
solve a problem.

Sample claims of policy:


The city’s board of education should institute an honors
program not only for high school students, but for
elementary and junior high school students as well. Just as
smoking ads have been banned in order to decrease the urge
to engage in an unhealthy behavior, soda ads should be
banned for the same reason.

No matter the type of claim, you will usually combine many


types of support for that claim in order to write a logical
argument, including facts, case studies, reasons, personal
interviews, and more, as appropriate.
