Chapter eight

One thing I learned from chapter eight was general claims.
General claims are literally general. General claims are pretty much vague. A general claim can be stated and the actually meaning of the claim can be conceal and misinterpret. General claims can usually be found in advertisements, to make the product seem more beneficial to the consumer then it really is.

An example of a general claim would be "Tyler ate some of the cookies on the table."
This is a general claim because the word "some" can be interpreted in different amounts.

Another thing I learned from Chapter eight was precise generalities. "Precise generalities" is the opposite of general claims. Precise generalities are claims or statements that are more detailed.

An example of Precise generalities would be "Tyler ate four of the cookies on the table."
It is opposite of the general claim because it goes into more detail, describing the amount the person actually ate.
