Value Judgements,
Positive and Normative
Statements
- POSITIVE STATEMENT= a statement that
can be tested against real-world data
- (it can be checked
against evidence
to see whether it is
true or false)
- e.g. 'the moon is made of green cheese', this is completely
false but it can be checked so it is a POSITIVE STATEMENT
- (it can be checked
against evidence
to see whether it is
true or false)
- NORMATIVE STATEMENT= opinions that require value judgements to be made
- (it is a personal opinion that others
may disagree to, it cannot be tested
to see if it's true or false)
- e.g. 'pollution is the most serious economic problem', this is subjective
as it's someone's opinion so it's a NORMATIVE STATEMENT
- (it is a personal opinion that others
may disagree to, it cannot be tested
to see if it's true or false)
- VALUE JUDGEMENT= statements or opinions expressed
that are not testable or cannot be verified and depend very
much on the views of the individual and the values they hold
- (opinions of an individual
which may not be shared
by everyone)
- e.g. 'Britain should adopt the Euro', different people would
agree and disagree so it's a VALUE JUDGEMENT
- (opinions of an individual
which may not be shared
by everyone)
