    Claim of Value

    Uploaded by

    Roland P. Umangay
    A claim of policy asserts that a specific course of action should or should not be taken to address an issue or problem. It proposes a solution but does not guarantee the solution will be implemented. To support a claim of policy, one must convince the audience that a problem exists and that the proposed policy or solution will effectively fix it. The argument must make the action clear, justify it as workable, consider any opposition, and provide data showing the benefits of the claim.
