Different Claims
What people believe to be true statements are callled claims. People believe in truths and theories. Subjective claims are claims that can not be proven and therefore are open to interpretation. An example of a subjective claim I have recently heard is that President Obama is a bad President. This claim is a matter of opinion and open to argument. I heard this claim while watching political satire television. Many people feel that President Obama is socializing and bankrupting America. Particualr media outlets amplify this particukar claim. And certain experts and historians help try to justify and convince people of these beliefs.
An example of an objective claim I have heard is the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburg Steelers are playing in The Superbowl. Obviously, with the big game fast approaching, all the sports news and buzz is around the superbowl. An objective claim is a declarative statement that can be proven true. When history books about the superbowl are written, it will say superbowl forty-five was played by the steelers and th packers.
