Assertion and Denial

Assertion and denial are ways people communicate about facts or beliefs. An assertion is confidently stating that something is true or false, like saying "The sky is blue." Denial involves rejecting or stating that something isn't true, such as "The sky is not blue." Both are used to express and defend our understanding of the facts or beliefs in a situation. They are fundamental to conversation, debate, and decision-making, helping clarify what we accept as true or false in any discussion.
