Objective and Subjective Language

Objective vs Subjective In stories, newspapers, and the spoken word, people all over the world are trying to convince you to think as they do. They are bombarding you with facts and figures, opinions and projections. It is up to you to create order within this chaos and find the patterns that will help you to understand what is true, what could be true, and what is outright false. In order to do all this, you need to have a firm grip on what is objective and what is subjective!

Definitions Objective is a statement that is completely unbiased. It is not touched by the speaker’s previous experiences or tastes. It is verifiable by looking up facts or performing mathematical calculations. Subjective is a statement that has been coloured by the character of the speaker or writer. It often has a basis in reality, but reflects the perspective or opinion through with the speaker views reality. It cannot be verified using concrete facts and figures.
