Zusammenfassung

TLDRIn this educational video, host Sergio discusses the concept of claims in writing, specifically the types of claims that can be used in essays and arguments. He first recounts a humorous incident about his initial recording and then delves into the main topic with a structured question format. Sergio reviews what claims are: arguable statements that outline the topic, stance, and objectives within an essay. Three types of claims are covered: claims of fact (which argue that something is true), claims of policy (which suggest actions or changes need to occur), and claims of value (which assess the worth, goodness, or badness of something, often comparing ideas). The video includes examples and a short quiz to help viewers distinguish between the types. Additionally, Sergio provides a humorous and engaging personal touch, thanking supporters at the end of the video and encouraging feedback for future topics.

    Sergio begins his video apologizing for a failed recording and introduces the topic of claims in essays. He outlines the agenda which involves discussing the concept of claims, types of claims, their applications in sentences, and choosing the best claim for various topics.

    Sergio explains the three types of claims in detail: Claims of Fact are statements that argue something is true and are debatable; Claims of Policy suggest actions, often using modals like 'should' or 'must'; Claims of Value determine if something is good or bad. Examples are provided for each type. He then conducts a quiz to reinforce understanding. Finally, he discusses the appropriateness of each claim type depending on the topic, using examples related to COVID-19.

  • 00:00:00
    good day everyone this is sergio and uh
  • 00:00:03
    can i be honest with you this is
  • 00:00:04
    actually the second time
  • 00:00:06
    i'm recording this for the reason that
  • 00:00:09
    i actually recorded this earlier
  • 00:00:12
    but i forgot to press record calm down
  • 00:00:16
    calm down so we are going to talk about
  • 00:00:20
    the different types of claims
  • 00:00:31
    going back to the same format i know i
  • 00:00:33
    know i have a thing for patterns so
  • 00:00:36
    let's just get through this these are
  • 00:00:39
    the questions for today
  • 00:00:41
    first is of course what are claims we
  • 00:00:44
    actually described this already in an
  • 00:00:46
    earlier video about thesis statements
  • 00:00:48
    but let's have a brief review second
  • 00:00:51
    question is
  • 00:00:52
    what are the different types of claims
  • 00:00:54
    third question
  • 00:00:55
    is what are the types of claims used in
  • 00:00:57
    a given sentence and
  • 00:00:59
    fourth question is what are the best
  • 00:01:02
    claims to be used in different topics
  • 00:01:04
    now before we proceed
  • 00:01:06
    i'm just going to go to my recording
  • 00:01:08
    studio and check if it's recording
  • 00:01:10
    it's recording so
  • 00:01:13
    that's good so let's have the first
  • 00:01:17
    question what are claims and this is
  • 00:01:20
    just going to be a brief review
  • 00:01:23
    basically a claim is an arguable
  • 00:01:25
    statement
  • 00:01:26
    that defines your goal of your essay
  • 00:01:29
    it usually states your topic and your
  • 00:01:32
    stand
  • 00:01:33
    on a certain issue it also shows what
  • 00:01:36
    you will prove
  • 00:01:37
    in your argument it is usually the first
  • 00:01:40
    phrase
  • 00:01:41
    in your thesis statement
  • 00:01:45
    so here is a quick checklist of what
  • 00:01:48
    makes a good claim
  • 00:01:49
    first is that it must mention your topic
  • 00:01:53
    obviously second question is it must
  • 00:01:56
    clearly state your stand
  • 00:01:58
    on the mentioned topic third is it must
  • 00:02:02
    be what you want to prove in your essay
  • 00:02:05
    fourth it must be debatable or arguable
  • 00:02:10
    so let's head on to the next question
  • 00:02:12
    which is what are the different types of
  • 00:02:14
    claims
  • 00:02:15
    now we have three different types of
  • 00:02:17
    claims which
  • 00:02:18
    are the claims of fact claims of policy
  • 00:02:21
    and claims of value
  • 00:02:22
    in a nutshell claims of facts are
  • 00:02:25
    statement that argues that something
  • 00:02:27
    is in fact true claims of policy are
  • 00:02:30
    statements that argue that something
  • 00:02:32
    needs to be done
  • 00:02:33
    may it be making a law or calling for
  • 00:02:36
    action
  • 00:02:36
    and lastly claims of value are
  • 00:02:39
    statements that argue that something is
  • 00:02:42
    good bad or valuable
  • 00:02:46
    first claim
  • 00:02:51
    first claim is a claim of fact
  • 00:02:54
    so claims of facts are actually what we
  • 00:02:58
    call
  • 00:02:58
    arguable facts these are statements that
  • 00:03:02
    argue that something is in fact
  • 00:03:04
    true as we've mentioned earlier even
  • 00:03:07
    though that the statement
  • 00:03:08
    appears to be factual it is still
  • 00:03:11
    debatable what are then the questions
  • 00:03:14
    that
  • 00:03:15
    we need to ask in order to determine
  • 00:03:18
    if one claim is a claim of fact
  • 00:03:21
    first question is of course did it
  • 00:03:24
    happen
  • 00:03:25
    another question is is it true does it
  • 00:03:28
    exist
  • 00:03:29
    and lastly is it a fact
  • 00:03:33
    examples of this is number one lord of
  • 00:03:36
    the rings
  • 00:03:36
    shaped the modern fantasy genre so as
  • 00:03:40
    you can see
  • 00:03:41
    it's not necessarily a fact rather
  • 00:03:44
    you are arguing that something is
  • 00:03:45
    factual second example is
  • 00:03:48
    gregorio del pilar ordered the execution
  • 00:03:51
    of andres bonifacio
  • 00:03:52
    and general antonio luna now
  • 00:03:56
    when we talk about claims of fact it
  • 00:03:58
    does not mean that a statement is
  • 00:04:00
    factual
  • 00:04:01
    it is merely a claim a debatable claim
  • 00:04:04
    that you are going to be arguing in the
  • 00:04:07
    entire essay
  • 00:04:08
    but be careful some claims of fact are
  • 00:04:11
    not debatable
  • 00:04:12
    and you have to avoid these especially
  • 00:04:14
    in persuasive or argumentative essays
  • 00:04:17
    an example of this is smoking is
  • 00:04:20
    dangerous to your health
  • 00:04:21
    or to one's health because smoking is
  • 00:04:24
    already proven to be dangerous to one's
  • 00:04:26
    health
  • 00:04:27
    [Music]
  • 00:04:29
    next claim claim of policy
  • 00:04:33
    claims of policy are claims that suggest
  • 00:04:36
    actions as we have mentioned earlier
  • 00:04:38
    these are statements that argue that
  • 00:04:40
    something needs to be done
  • 00:04:42
    may it be a law may it be merely calling
  • 00:04:45
    for action
  • 00:04:47
    what are the questions that we need to
  • 00:04:49
    answer to check if a claim is a claim of
  • 00:04:52
    policy
  • 00:04:54
    what should we do about it
  • 00:04:57
    an example of claims of policy is
  • 00:05:01
    the haircut policy should be lifted in
  • 00:05:04
    all schools
  • 00:05:04
    you are suggesting an action or a rule
  • 00:05:08
    to be dismantled so this is a claim of
  • 00:05:12
    policy
  • 00:05:13
    another one is an individual must be
  • 00:05:15
    knowledgeable
  • 00:05:16
    about his or her basic rights you are
  • 00:05:20
    now suggesting that everyone should be
  • 00:05:24
    educated in order for them to know their
  • 00:05:28
    basic rights and please do note a claim
  • 00:05:32
    of policy usually has
  • 00:05:33
    the modals should must may and might
  • 00:05:37
    keyword is
  • 00:05:38
    usual next claim
  • 00:05:42
    and i swear that was the last one is the
  • 00:05:45
    claim of value
  • 00:05:46
    a claim of value determines the value of
  • 00:05:49
    a certain idea
  • 00:05:51
    claims of value are statements that
  • 00:05:53
    argue that something is good
  • 00:05:55
    bad or valuable it usually compares two
  • 00:05:58
    ideas against one another
  • 00:06:00
    or that one idea is the best among all
  • 00:06:02
    ideas
  • 00:06:04
    questions to answer to check if a claim
  • 00:06:06
    is a claim of value
  • 00:06:09
    is it good or bad valuable or not
  • 00:06:12
    valuable desirable or undesirable
  • 00:06:16
    examples of which are number one
  • 00:06:18
    euthanasia
  • 00:06:19
    is a moral this statement shows
  • 00:06:22
    the desirability or undesirability
  • 00:06:26
    of a certain idea and that is euthanasia
  • 00:06:29
    the one is animal testing is the worst
  • 00:06:31
    way to test medical products
  • 00:06:34
    so as you can see this statement
  • 00:06:36
    actually shows that one thing is
  • 00:06:38
    the worst okay it's bad on the
  • 00:06:41
    superlative level
  • 00:06:43
    and lastly is of course lord of the
  • 00:06:45
    rings is better than harry potter
  • 00:06:47
    as you can see it compares two ideas to
  • 00:06:49
    one another
  • 00:06:51
    but is it
  • 00:06:55
    arguable lord of the rings
  • 00:06:58
    is actually better than harry potter but
  • 00:07:01
    you know
  • 00:07:02
    [Music]
  • 00:07:04
    you know you know
  • 00:07:08
    now let's have a quick quiz
  • 00:07:10
    [Music]
  • 00:07:12
    this would be an identification type of
  • 00:07:14
    quiz you could
  • 00:07:15
    get a paper and pen and write your
  • 00:07:17
    answers or you could just
  • 00:07:19
    answer in your mind so let's head on to
  • 00:07:23
    the first statement
  • 00:07:24
    you would just have 10 seconds for this
  • 00:07:26
    but of course i know you're talented
  • 00:07:28
    enough
  • 00:07:28
    to actually answer within 10 seconds
  • 00:07:33
    excessive consumption of alcohol can
  • 00:07:35
    lead to many diseases
  • 00:07:37
    [Music]
  • 00:07:38
    so you have to ask yourself is it a
  • 00:07:40
    claim of fact policy or value
  • 00:07:43
    and if you answer that this is a claim
  • 00:07:45
    of fact you're
  • 00:07:46
    in fact correct pun intended
  • 00:07:50
    next statement honesty is the best
  • 00:07:53
    policy
  • 00:07:54
    keyword here is the best right
  • 00:07:57
    it is a superlative of a certain idea
  • 00:08:00
    so what type of claim is this this is a
  • 00:08:03
    claim
  • 00:08:03
    of value next
  • 00:08:07
    is to attract more non-traditional
  • 00:08:09
    students
  • 00:08:10
    this school must review and revise its
  • 00:08:13
    course offerings
  • 00:08:15
    keyword is must then it's a claim of
  • 00:08:18
    policy
  • 00:08:19
    because you are suggesting an action
  • 00:08:22
    [Music]
  • 00:08:24
    another statement is that extra
  • 00:08:27
    another statement is that extrajudicial
  • 00:08:30
    killing man that's hard to say
  • 00:08:31
    are killing innocent civilians
  • 00:08:34
    [Music]
  • 00:08:37
    and this is actually a claim of fact now
  • 00:08:41
    i'm not saying that this is in fact
  • 00:08:43
    factual
  • 00:08:44
    but you are arguing that this is
  • 00:08:48
    factual you are debating
  • 00:08:51
    that this is true so what
  • 00:08:54
    is the best claim to be used in a given
  • 00:08:57
    topic
  • 00:08:58
    so we have three types of claims
  • 00:09:01
    but what claim is best to be used in a
  • 00:09:04
    topic that you're planning to write
  • 00:09:08
    the claim of fact is usually used when
  • 00:09:11
    you argue that something is factual or
  • 00:09:13
    true
  • 00:09:14
    for example wearing masks and social
  • 00:09:16
    distancing is effective in preventing
  • 00:09:18
    the spread
  • 00:09:19
    of kovid 19 and
  • 00:09:23
    sadly of course this is actually
  • 00:09:25
    debatable because there are some people
  • 00:09:27
    out there
  • 00:09:28
    who refuse to practice social distancing
  • 00:09:31
    and wear their mask guys please
  • 00:09:34
    wear your masks and practice social
  • 00:09:36
    distancing
  • 00:09:37
    i still want to see you in the next cool
  • 00:09:40
    year
  • 00:09:42
    next is the claim of policy it is used
  • 00:09:45
    when arguing that something needs to be
  • 00:09:47
    done for example mass testing
  • 00:09:49
    should be prioritized you hear that
  • 00:09:53
    mass testing should be prioritized and
  • 00:09:56
    lastly
  • 00:09:57
    is of course the claim of value it is
  • 00:10:00
    used
  • 00:10:01
    when arguing that something or an idea
  • 00:10:04
    is better or best worse or worse
  • 00:10:07
    than its counterpart or that an idea
  • 00:10:10
    is or isn't valuable an example of this
  • 00:10:14
    is online learning is better than
  • 00:10:16
    face-to-face learning
  • 00:10:18
    during the time of pandemic because
  • 00:10:21
    again
  • 00:10:21
    this is very debatable so that's about
  • 00:10:24
    it
  • 00:10:25
    the three types of claim
  • 00:10:27
    [Music]
  • 00:10:28
    delving deeper in research is quite
  • 00:10:30
    difficult don't you agree
