Post 1 Subjective and Objective Claims

Subjective is when someone or some people make a claim on something. These claims are considered true or false due to someone's personal beliefs or feelings and are allowed to be more vague.  Objective claims are more impersonal and use more facts then opinions.

Subjective:  "I think it is too hot in San Jose."  This is subjective because it is my own personal opinion and claim about how I think or feel. It is also to vague of a claim to be objective.

Objective: "It is 98 degrees in downtown San Jose." This is objective weither is this claim is true or not, it is not based on someone's personal opinion.
