From the reading, I’ve gathered that a Subjective claim is a claim that is developed based upon personal beliefs and opinions; however, an Objective claim is a claim that is a more generalized statement in which large groups of people can agree on.
For example, the other day I was in the kitchen and one of my sorority sisters was making hamburgers and she offered to make my roommate and me one. My roommate declined, explaining that she refused to eat meat due to the inhumane way animals are treated. Obviously, this is my roommates personal opinion in which the sister that was making the hamburgers did not share. This is an example of a subjective claim.
A couple days following that incident, a friend of mine was describing their friend in detail. They stated that he was about 6 foot tall with blond hair and blue eyes. This is an example of an Objective claim because this claim described exactly what he looked like, and it would be impossible to argue.
Thank you for reading! :)

Introductory Post
Hello!
My name is Emily and I am a third year at San Jose State. Originally I am from Redondo Beach, which is about 5.5 hours south of San Jose, located in Los Angeles County. Growing up I've played soccer for 11 years, beach volleyball for four, and I competitively swam for four as well. I've also been surfing for 8 years now and try to as much as possible!
While in high school I was Vice President of a freshman orientation program and also Vice President of a club called Invisible Children, which raised money for children in need in Africa.
Here at San Jose State I am a Child Development major with a double minor in Psychology and Nutrition Food Science. With this I hope to receive a Masters in Physical Therapy and ultimately work with children who have cancer, paralysis, and other crippling diseases and disorders. I am also a member of Alpha Omicron Pi, where I have held various leader positions which all have required me to communicate frequently and effectively.
Unfortunately besides leadership positions, I have not had much communication experience. In addition to this class I am also enrolled in COMM 41, which will hopefully improve my communication skills.
Through this class I hope to gain confidence when speaking publicly as well as improve my knowledge of various subjects. I'm looking forward to this semester!
