Some have said “there are no facts, only interpretations.”
Write an essay that tries to explain what this controversial notion might mean. It could mean many things in many different contexts and you do not need to take up a strong agree/disagree position in your essay. What might lead a person to assert such a claim? Can you think of current or historical situations or debates that would lend weight to one side or the other? Do not do any research to find out what others have said on this topic, though you may engage authors or material you’ve already studied in your discussion if this helps you to develop your own thinking. The strongest papers will examine the claim from more than one angle, show evidence of creative thinking and express ideas in clear, structured and interesting ways.
