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.
