A Subjective Claim can be true or false because it is solely based on personally opinion; it could not be proven false or true by any means. While a objective claim is quite similar to a subjective claim, but an objective claim can be proven false or true in anyway what so ever.  Therefore an objective claim is not based on one’s own opinion but if it could be proven or not.

            An example of a subjective claim is when I was entering a hair salon to get my haircut, I could not help but notice a lady that just had her hair colored and cut into a bob. I felt as if it was the worst haircut that I have ever seen, but for some reason she loved it and raved about it until she left.  This is a subjective claim because there is no way to prove if your hair is terrible or not because it was my own opinion. Some people may think it looks great and other might think that it looks terrible there is no way to prove if it’s false or true.

            An example of a objective claim is like when my friend stated that her room was far smaller then mine. This could be true or false but this is an objective claim because we were able to measure our rooms and find the area and compare our results. It was easily proven that her room was the exact same size as mine.  We were able to prove the claim, so it was not just an opinion but fact.
