The document discusses the difference between objective and subjective information. Subjective information expresses a personal opinion or viewpoint, while objective information aims to be completely unbiased without taking a stance. Examples provided show that subjective writing is found in personal essays and editorials expressing opinions, while objective writing sticks to facts and is used in news reports and textbooks. Some texts may contain both subjective and objective elements, so it is important to recognize which segments are opinion-based and which just report facts.

1. The main difference between
objectivity and subjectivity is in the way that
these arguments are presented.

2.  Subjective information – whether it is in written or
spoken form – is generally considered to be a
single person’s opinion. It has a viewpoint, or
possibly a bias, regardless of the information it
provides.
 Objective information on the other hand is meant
to be completely unbiased. There is a feeling of
the writer or speaker being outside of the
information, and when they present it they do so
without taking a stance or expressing their
feelings in relation to that information.
 So this Can be describe as objective are facts
and subjective are opinions.

3. Subjective Writing
Subjective writing is found in
personal essays, in
autobiographies, and in the
editorial section of
newspapers where journalists
express their opinions about
news events.

4. Objective Writing
In NEWS, objective style is followed.
They stick to the facts and figures of
the events they report; their purpose
is strictly to inform the readers.
Objective writing is also found in
textbooks.

5. Warning!
Some texts may combine
objective writing and
subjective writing. For
example, a biographer may
include his or her opinion of
the person about whom he or
she is writing, as well as
report the facts regarding that
person’s life. It is important to
recognize which segments are
written objectively and which
are written subjectively.
