    Expressing an opinion and an assertion are needed in
    daily lives. We use these to express what we think and

    aggressiveness. This lesson will help you in

    Analyze the following statements, write YES if the statement
    expresses an opinion and NO if it is a false statement.
    _____________ 1. I believe this pandemic caused trouble to people
    especially the ones in the poverty level.
    _____________ 2. There are now approved vaccines against the
    virus.
    _____________ 3. In my own perception, soon, this situation will
    become better.

    Definition of Opinion
    Opinion is a thought, belief or judgment that a person or a group of people have about
    something or someone which are based mainly on their beliefs. It may also be a judgment
    made by an expert.

    Definition of Assertion
    Assertion is an artistic method involving a strong declaration, a forceful or confident and
    positive statement regarding a belief or a fact. Often, it is without proof or any support. Its
    purpose is to express ideas or feelings directly.

    Similarities and Differences of Opinion and Assertion


    Opinion is somewhat similar to assertion in a way that both express idea/s about someone or
    something. These two differ from one another in a way that opinion is an interpretation, a
    finding or assessment whether it is asked or just heard.
    The common type of opinion is the Personal Opinion

    Personal Opinion- This is individual point of view or idea towards


    someone or something. It is one’s stand on a certain issue or topic.
    Here are simple introductions to express your personal opinion or
    individual view on something or someone.
     For Example
    I believe that…
    I think that…
    In my opinion…
    The way I see it…
    Meanwhile, Speaking of Assertion, All the 4 types of Assertion are
    very useful in conversation. Let’s try to understand them one by one.

    1. Basic Assertion
    It is a simple and direct statement for expressing feelings, opinions,
    and beliefs.

    Examples:
    “I wish I could have expressed this idea earlier, because now
    someone else has taken the credit.”
    “Excuse me, first I want to finish my work, then I shall go with you.”
    2. Emphatic Assertion
    It conveys empathy to someone, and usually has two parts: the first
    contains recognition of the feelings or situations of the other person,
    and the second expresses care and support for the other person’s
    feelings or rights.
    Examples:
    “I understand you are busy, and me too, but it is difficult for me to
    finish this project on my own. So, I want you to help me complete
    this project.”
    “I know this is making you angry and frustrated because you have not
    gotten a response yet. But I can help you by giving you an estimate of
    how long it might take.”
    3. Escalating Assertion
    It happens when someone is not able to respond to a person’s
    basic assertions. As a result, that person becomes firm about
    him or her.
    Examples:
    “If you do not finish this work by 6:00 tonight, I will engage
    the services of another worker.”
    “I really want to finish this point before you start yours.”
    4. Language Assertion
    this uses the first person pronoun “I”. this is used for expressing
    negative feelings but this is helpful in laying emphasis on a person’s
    feelings of anger and a solution is suggested.
    Examples:
     “When you speak harshly to me, I cannot talk and move as usual
    because I feel embarrassed. therefore, I want you to speak in low tone
    and then give me a task.”
    “When I don’t get enough sleep, it affects my patience and self-
    control. therefore, I try to sleep earlier.”

    In today’s fast-paced and complex information environment, news consumers must make
    rapid-fire judgments about how to internalize news-related statements – statements that often
    come in snippets and through pathways that provide little context. A new pew research center
    survey of 5,035 U.S. adults examines a basic step in that process: whether members of the
    public can recognize news as factual – something that’s capable of being proved or disproved
    by objective evidence – or as an opinion that reflects the beliefs and values of whoever
    expressed it.
     

    The findings from the survey, conducted between Feb. 22 and March 8, 2018, reveal that even
    this basic task presents a challenge. the main portion of the study, which measured the public’s
    ability to distinguish between five factual statements and five opinion statements, found that a
    majority of Americans correctly identified at least three of the five statements in each set. but
    this result is only a little better than random guesses. far fewer Americans got all five correct,
    and roughly a quarter got most or all wrong. even more revealing is that certain Americans do
    far better at parsing through this content than others. those with high political awareness, those
    who are very digitally savvy and those who place high levels of trust in the news media are
    better able than others to accurately identify news-related statements as factual or opinion.
