Subjective and Objective Claims

What’s good???!!!! Wow, so honestly this chapter was very enlightening for me. Basically, a subjective claim is simply a claim based on one’s point of view or opinion on the claim itself. For instance, today, I told my classmate that the class we were in was boring. Well, that was just my opinion. “Boring” is such a vague term that we cannot prove whether or not the statement is true or false. Especially since the bookworm next to me probably thought that the class was actually exciting. Therefore, when I said “this class is boring,” I was making a subjective claim.
An objective claim on the other hand can be factually proven as true or false without involving anyone’s personal opinion. For instance, when I was talking to my friend about classes today, I told him the reason why I was taking Asian American Studies is because “it meets my requirement for general education.” This is an objective claim because it can be proven as true or false. Seeing how there is a legitimate list of classes that fulfill general education requirements, the class is either on the list or is not. If it’s on the list of general education courses, then it is a true claim. If it isn’t, then it is false. Either way, the claim doesn’t concern my opinion, it is based on fact. Therefore, the claim, “Asian American Studies fulfills a general ed requirement” is objective.

Introductory Post

Waddup though I'm Tell 'Em. My communication experience is slightly limited. I took comm 20 and loved it because i enjoy giving speeches. Online classes are difficult for me to keep up with but then again I don't really like sitting in class so I usually take one on line class a semester. This class seems interesting and I'm hoping it teaches me how to communicate better; especially online, seeing how everything revolves around the internet these days.  About me: I keep it zesty, love to skateboard, party, and down for whatever. Peace.
