Subjective and Objective Claims

According to the reading, a subjective claim depends on a person opinion or feels. An objective claim does not depend on how someone feels or thinks. Here are examples of a subjective and objective claim:

My boyfriend and I were talking on the phone today, and we were discussing how he is liking his new living situtation at San Francisco State University. My boyfriend told me, "Living in my own apartment is way better than living in a dorm." His claim is an example of a subjective claim because he is making that statement from his own personal experiences from living in a dorm his freshman year. His claim may or may not be true depending on the persons beliefs and expeirences.

Yesterday, when I was talking to my mom in the kitchen. We were discussing some of our favorite movies, and I told her that the movie, 27 Dresses is one of my favorite movies. She then asked me when the movie was released and I told her, "27 Dresses was released in 2008." This is an example of an objective claim because it does not depend on what someone believes in.

Introduction

Hello! I'm Rossi and I am going into my second year at SJSU. The exerience I have had with "communication" is little. But Last semester I did take com20. I hope to get some more understanding on how to make important decisons that are occuring in my life. I hope this class helps me become less indecisive. I actually have no experience with online classes. This is the first online class I am taking. Some of my interests are playing tennis, swimming, running, shopping, reading and spending time with people I care about! :-)
