Subjective and objective claims can be confusing because they are both statements that can be true or false. Subjective claims are statements or expressions that invokes personal opinions or feelings. A subjective claim cannot be proved right or wrong by any accepted criteria.
Here are a few examples of how I have used subjective claims:
-Touching a cockroach is scary.
-Fried chicken is better than grilled chicken.
Although we all know that bugs can be touched and many people people eat chicken, all these claims cannot be proven true or false because everyone has their own opinion and feelings towards a claim. Here are some counter-claims to my statements that can be easily made:
-Grilled chicken is tastier than fried chicken.
-It's interesting to touch a cockroach.
Not everyone likes fried chicken or think cockroach are scary because everyone has their own perspective in life.
Objective claims is different from subjective claims because they are actual facts that can be proven either true or false.
Now that I actually know what a subjective claim and an objective claim is, I realize that I use them a lot and daily. An example that I have used of objective claim would be that Forever 21 is having a dress sale of $10 each. This is an objective claim because it's not my opinion but is based on the store's advertisement.
I really like all the examples you gave! They were good supports to your explanation. I really liked how you gave opposite examples of the subjective claims. It shows your viewers how subjective claims are based on opinions, whether the opinions agree or not. I also like the forever 21 example you gave! Not only do I love that store but I thought it was a perfect example of an objective claim because objective claims are based on knowledge rather than opinions!
