A subjective claim is a claim that can not be proven true or false and have different answers depending on the subject or person holding the discussion.
Example: Dogs make the best pets. This claim is subjective because some people could agree or disagree with this statement based on their personal opinion. I was in a conversation with a group of friend and brought this topic up and many people disagreed with me because the had a small house, were allergic to dogs or didn’t have enough time to care for a dog. It made me realize just because a statement is true for you does not mean it will be true for everyone else.
An objective claim is something that is a fact and can not be proven wrong not matter what the circumstances are.
Example: I was working at Starbucks this past weekend and someone asked me how to make a standard tall- sized latte. I replied you have a one-ounce shot of espresso and ten ounces of milk and lay a thin layer of foam on the top. This is how a standard latte is always made and there are recipe cards to look at and no matter the circumstance or person who is asking the question the answer will always be the same.
