Hello !! :)
I am a 100 percent confident ,regardless of the magnitude of the concept, that most of you have provided your own personal opinion or thought to someone else at some point in your life. Those opinions and thoughts are called subjective claims. Subjective claims are basically one's own ; they can be in the form of feelings, expressions, values, or even judgments. Also, subjective claims cannot be proved, that is, they cannot be deemed true or false.
Here is an example of a subjective claim; I feel that the Fédération Internationale de Football Association aka FIFA, should introduce goal line technology in every single competitive and professional game. I believe that this will help the referees and the team that scores the goal.
The debate going on with this issue is that, referees are not able to spot the ball when the ball crosses the line and bounces back onto the pitch.
The basic rule is that, when the ball crosses the goal line ( the line which is drawn between the goal posts) it is considered a goal. So, when the ball crosses the goal line, it does not have to land on the ground for it to be considered as a goal.
Now, an objective claim is quite opposite to a subjective claim. An objective claim has to be deemed either true or false.
Here is a simple example of an objective claim; There are eight planes in our solar system.
This statement is either true or false.The element of the claim can change over a period of time and still remain an objective claim. This is such an example; our solar system consisted of 9 plants, and now our solar system only contains 8 planets.

Most people are constantly giving their personal opinions on just about anything from the weather to movies. You did a great job clearly explaining subjective claims. I also used a sports related example for subjective claims.The subjective claim example you used was a good one because it was clearly your opinion about the goal line technology. I agree with you that FIFA should introduce the goal line technology in every competitive and professional game. The objective claim example you used was also a perfect example. It is obviously a statement that is either true or false. Overall your post was clear and informative.
ReplyDeleteHey thanks a lot Kenny. I appreciate your comment. I strongly agree with you agreeing upon my claim lol. It is a serious issue and I think it is about time the federation fixes it.
ReplyDeleteSo do you follow soccer a lot?
I don't follow soccer as much as I do basketball, baseball and football. I did watch most of the World Cup though.
ReplyDeleteI total agree with that FIFA should imply a replay back system in the goal lines. There were some games this year showed that the ball did cross the line but the ref did not catch it. The only disagreement that FIFA has against it is they think they bring too much technology into a simple game. Even American football has a good replay system to show that a game is fair on both sides. If FIFA does do this rule it would help in an honest game where a goal could decide a game. Goof job on your subjective claim on the goal line.
