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.

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.

stuck in his foot. There is physical evidence that he’s in

pain.
