A subjective claim is basically an opinion. It is what someone thinks or feels towards something. Since it is an opinion, it doesn't matter if it's a true or false claim. Also, it being a personal preference, there should not be any arguments whatsoever about the claim.
My subjective claim example deals with dance practice.
We are all unique in our own ways and so when it comes to dancing, everybody is different and therefore hold certain skills. There are some that can be really good in presenting choreography (which I hold) and others that can be really good in free styling. When practice was over last week, I talked to one of my teammates about the choreography we had just practiced. He, being a b-boy dancer thought it was really hard because he doesn’t execute hip-hop choreography as good as his b-boy free style, but as for myself I thought it was pretty easy because I feel more comfortable with the hip-hop choreography. Overall, we had different feelings towards practice because our personal standards in dancing are not the same.
If a claim is not subjective it is objective. Objective claims are facts that can be proven either true or false. Therefore, do not assume all objective claims are true.
My objective claim example is how my little cousin acts.
Whenever it’s time for lunch or dinner, my whole family eats together. My little cousin on the other hand always says, “I’m not hungry” and refuses to eat the rice, meat, and vegetables we set on the table. Though, when we have ice cream right after, all of a sudden he says he’s hungry and eats the ice cream over the rice. The way my cousin acts in eating makes this an objective claim because it’s what he does, not what he thinks or feels.
