A subjective claim is based on a person’s own feelings and opinions. A subjective claim can be true to someone with the same beliefs, feelings, or thoughts. The other night when my friend was scooping me some ice cream, I peered into the bowl and claimed, “That is way too little”. In my opinion, the portion was just not enough to satisfy me. While on the other hand, my friend thought the amount was more than enough for one person to eat.
An objective claim is something that cannot be debated and is not based on personal opinions. Earlier today as my roommate and I walked out of the door, I asked her if she locked the door and she said “The door is locked”. It was a fact that the door was locked, and no matter what both of us believed or felt, the door would’ve been locked nonetheless.
