 Today in class we talked about claims. I learned that there are multiple kinds of claims; a claim of fact, Value, and Policy. I got an unpopular opinion that black people dont tip and had to give five supporting claims about it. One of my claims was that They have bad manners because thats how waiters make money so in my opinion thats bad manners. Then I had to give counter claims to Bryans claim that most people are selfish at heart. One of his supporting claims was that most people dont empathize and i countered it by, saying you cant empathize if you dont understand the situation someone else is in
