Subjective and Objective Claims

Subjective claims are more along the lines of personal feelings and ideas. If someone believes or feels that what they say is true or even false then it is a subjective claim. A good example of a subjective claim would be my friend saying that the New Orleans Saints are better than the Indianapolis Colts. Now because he said this and it is not a fact, his statement becomes a subjective claim.

Objective claims are more along the lines of impersonal, meaning it has more to do with fact. If someone says something and it is factual then it makes the claim objective. An example of a objective claim is that my dog Marlon, he is a Maltese and does not shed a great amount of hair. This is objective because my dog is in fact a Maltese and when someone looks into dogs that do not shed, Maltese come up on the list.
