Subjective and Objective claims are similar but different at the same time. A Subjective Claim is a phrase or claim that someone states with out it mattering whether it is true or false. Subjective has to do with your personal feelings and standards, all other people's opinions are put aside. Now an Objective Claim is a phrase or claim that is not subjective or impersonal. Meaning the claim has truth in it and all can agree to the claim.
An example of a Subjective claim that I have heard recently was in a conversation with my roommates. We were all sitting in our living room of our apartment and having a conversation about what food we like and what we don't like. My one roommate Jessica loves seafood and anything to do with it while my other roommate Annelyse and I both hate it. I made the statement "seafood is gross and it smells unpleasant when you cook it". My roommate Jessica disagreed with my statement because it is a personal subjective statement only applying to me.
An example of an Objective claim that I heard recently was in my Health class that I had on Tuesday. Our teacher was doing a lecture on What Health Is and she gave the definition of health saying it is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease". This is an objective claim because it is a true well known statement that many people are aware of and live by.
