Discussion Question #1: Subjective VS Objective

While subjective claims are based upon a personal opinion, objective claims are based upon impartiality. For instance, a couple of moments ago, I said that I am having a bad day. This is subjective because I, personally, have these feelings. The events of my day, such as waking up late and losing my money, brought me to claim that my day is bad. However, if I were to say that today is a bad day, this would imply that today is merely a bad day regardless of my personal experience. An example of an objective claim that I recently heard was that “college life is fun.” This is objective because it is a general statement. College life may be fun for one person, but not another. The claim is not implying that her college life is fun, but rather that all college life is fun. This, of course, is not entirely true because everyone has different standards for their idea of fun.
