Subjective and Objective claims

Subjective and objective claims are very different from each other. A subjective claim is ones opinion about something. Its how you feel not really what you know is true or a fact. An objective claim is a factual claim. It's a claim that has an answer. We as people use subjective and objective claims all the time. I used a subjective claim the other day when talking to my roommate. We were talking about basketball teams. My roommate is from San Francisco and she likes the warriors. I am from Los Angeles and prefer the Lakers. "So I was like the warriors suck". That right there was a subjective claim because I was just giving my opinion about the warriors. An objective claim would have been "when was the last time the warriors won a championship" because you can get a factual answer for that question.  That is the difference between subjective and objective claims.

  1. Hi Turtle! Subjective and objective claim are usually different but there are occasions in which they can be the same. For example I could say that McDonalds is better than Burger King. That is my opinion. But if the world took a poll and more people chose McDonalds that could make it a fact.
