Arguable

Too easily verifiable

Charter schools offer a better education than public schools.

3. Ronald Reagan was the most charismatic president of the twentieth century.

Arguable

4. Requiring students to wear uniforms improves school spirit

I think that this statement is arguable because there are people who might agree with this and there are others who might totally disagree. It is a viable claim that can create a valid argument.

5. The term global warming and climate change describe different perspectives on this complex issue.

Arguable

6. Students graduating from college today can expect to have more debt than any previous generations.

This is too easily verifiable. It could be true or it could be false but I think that It is simply a topic and not a claim.

Most of the students who graduate from college today can expect to fail due to debts in the future unlike the previous generations

7. People who read novels are more likely to attend sports events and movies than those who do not.

I think that this is arguable .

8. Print newspapers will not survive another decade.

I think that this statement is arguable.

9. The competition among countries to become a site for the Olympic games is fierce.

This is too easily verifiable because its just states the topic. I believe that it is very easy to verify if this statement is true or not.

It is more likely that the Olympic games will take place in a developed and big country than in a small country.

 10. Plagiarism is a serious problem in today’s schools.

Verifiable

Student’s who plagiarize are often the ones who don’t get enough attention from their parents at home.

"Baggage Claim" is so archaic in its depiction of feminine self-worth—and, frankly, so insulting—it's amazing that it's coming out in 2013, not 1963.

It's also the second movie opening this week in which attractive, vibrant people pushing 30 must find spouses within a totally arbitrary and impossibly tight time frame in order to please their demanding parents. While "Baggage Claim" takes place within a black family in Baltimore, "Wedding Palace" is set in the Korea town section of Los Angeles.

It's a small world after all, sadly.

Paula Patton, however, is a serious globetrotter as a perky and perfectly coifed flight attendant named Montana Moore. Not only does she have the obligatory sassy best friend (Jill Scott) who's armed with innuendoes and in-your-face cleavage, Montana also has the no-nonsense, no-filter gay pal (Adam Brody) who will always set her straight. Both fly the friendly skies alongside her. Their mile-high chatter is mostly mind-numbing, but Brody gets a few funny lines…….. http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/baggage-claim-2013

 This review is from a movie called “Baggage Claim” that came out in 2013. In Christy Lemire’s review you can see that she rarely says any positive comments and reflections about the movie. She basically says that this movie is like any other movie, very archaic and insulting. She focuses a lot on the overall point of the movie; she thinks that it is all ridiculous and unrealistic. She says that there are several funny parts and lines to the movie for example she states that the best part of the movie “if such thing is possible” is the love between the main actress and her neighbor.

Christy Lemire used claim of value to criticize this movie. To her she believes that there are plenty of other movies similar and that it was not necessary. She states her points and gives her opinion about why she does not think this movie is a great movie She admits that there are one or two good laughing parts but other than that it was predictable. Lemire argues that this movie is not good, and of course this could be arguable because others might think differently.
