Subjective & Objective

Subjective deals with statements that depend on a person's feelings, or rather their personal standards. A subjective claim I would have would be: my dog is the cutest lab out there. Now the fact that she is cute depends on whether or not I feel she is cute or not. The opinion is based on my feelings for my dog and how it is I choose to view her.

Objective deals with statements that do not belong under subjective. These deal with impersonal standards and are often too vague of a statement. An objective claim would then be: the bag of apples weighed two pounds. This statement does not deal with it being true or false, it simply means that the bag of apples weighed in at two pounds. There is nothing more that can be argued about this.

I think overall subjective statements are statements that we typically use in our conversations due to our nature of being often outspoken people. Luckily for us and our culture we do have objective claims which are often just to the point and don’t rely on opinions.
