SUBJECTIVE.OBJECTIVE.

Subjective claim is more on the biased and opinionated side. Subjective claims are based on an individuals own feelings or opinions. A statement using judgment would be a subjective claim and is usually arguable. While objective claim is not opinionated, its more straight forward fact. Objective clams are based on facts and can not usually be argued.

An example of a subjective claim would be someone opinion or feelings towards something like a song or singer. My friend was like oh "Party in The USA" is such a bad song. That is a subjective claim because that is his opinion of the song. Someone else can argue that it is a really good song. I personally think it's a great song. Subjective claims in music usually have many sides and opinions. Music critics makes a lot of subjective “reviews” or claims because every critic has his own different response and feelings on a song or album.


An example of an objective claim would be when my friend claimed Taylor Swift's album Fearless was number 1 on the billboard for 11 nonconsecutive weeks. It's fact, you can't argue that its not true. It's not based on opinions or emotions, it is what can't be claimed as false.
