What is the difference between fact and opinion? Provide an example of a fact and an example of an opinion. What are two major issues in American and/or politics in which the differences between fact and opinion often become unclear?
What will be an ideal response?
The best answers will:
1. explain that facts are data that can be verified through empirical observation, while opinions are the views we hold on issues (that can or cannot be supported by facts). Exceptional answers will make clear that both are forms of evidence.
2. provide example answers of facts, such as "The first amendment to the U.S. Constitution assures citizens freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition" and of opinions, such as "Led Zeppelin is the greatest band of all time."
3. identify such issues as vaccination, climate change, and abortion/fetal personhood as examples of "hot-button" issues of fact versus opinion in American and global politics.
