Study Notes

Understanding Facts and Opinions

A fact is a statement that can be proven true or false based on evidence, data, or reality.
An opinion is a subjective statement that reflects personal beliefs, feelings, or interpretations, and cannot be proven true or false.
Differentiating between facts and opinions involves examining whether a statement can be backed by objective evidence or is purely subjective.

Identifying Facts and Opinions

Common phrases in opinions include "I believe," "I think," or "In my opinion," signaling personal views.
A statement like “The earth revolves around the sun" is a fact, while "The sun is the most beautiful star" is an opinion.
Context and the language used can assist in distinguishing between the two.

Importance of Differentiating

Understanding the distinction enhances critical thinking skills.
It aids in evaluating information sources, particularly in media and academic contexts.
