There are two different types of claims--subjective claims and objective claims. These claims may be similar in ways, but they also have their differences. Some may be get the two mixed up, but they are actually quite easy to differentiate.
Subjective claims are statements that are based on one's personal standards. The statements made cannot be proven to be true or false. They are simply beliefs and/or opinions of oneself. An example of a subjective claim would be if someone were to say, "Your haircut is extremely cute!" That statement right there would be considered a subjective claim because it is merely someone's opinion. There is no way to prove it to be true or false.
Objective claims, on the other hand, are the opposite of a subjective claims. They are statements that are based on standards that are impersonal to oneself. Objective claims can be verified to be true or false--they are simply just facts. An example of an objective claim would be if someone were to say, "You got a haircut!" That statement can be verified to be true or false simply by just asking the person whether or not they got a haircut. Therefore, it is an objective claim.
