Question 1.
What does Kantz contend that facts, opinions, and arguments actually are?
Response 1.
Facts, opinions and arguments are often not what they say
they are. They are very commonly just a large agreement of opinion.
Meta Moment
How would you name the constructs that Kantz is calling in
to question? Why would it be useful for you as a writer in college or in
professional settings to understand her finding and claims?
Meta Moment Response
What Kantz says is very important for understanding any
source of information. It makes me really reflect on the saying, “history is
written by the victor”. The agreement of opinion becoming fact is all too
common and must be considered before taking anything for fact. By considering
if ‘facts’ are actually facts you will ensure that you do not make silly
mistakes or believe the wrong thing.
