Objectivity vs Subjectivity - What is Right and What is Wrong?

Objectivity vs Subjectivity - What is Right and What is Wrong?

Author: MAKARAND UTPAT December 7, 2021 Duration: 5:00

In this episode, Mak talks about his views on Objectivity and Subjectivity. He came into thought about this because of her daughter’s homework. Today, he shares his thoughts on both objectivity and subjectivity.

Daughter’s Assignment

[0:36]

The homework is around two topics. Number one is an American soldier who has fought the war alongside the Kurdish army, and what will be his trials and tribulations in terms of the overall General Dynamics. That is kind of shaping up in terms of America’s withdrawal, and then how sort of the situation is kind of right now, getting a little bit out of control, depending on who you talk to.

The second is the effects of using smartphones in the nighttime right before going to sleep. You approach any one of these topics from an objective angle, where the news reporter kind of comes in on the media TV channels, and then he starts, he or she starts reporting the facts.

The Other Angle

[1:53]

The other angle is basically based on subjectivity, where you can prepare like a TEDx type of talk. TEDx talks are really based on driving emotions, triggering emotions. It’s up to them what topic to choose and whether they want to cover that as a speech in the form of as a news reporter or as a TEDx speaker.

Objectivity vs. Subjectivity

[2:25]

That sort of objectivity versus subjectivity resonated with Mak because he sincerely feeds that there is a place for both objectivity and subjectivity depending on the type of context or depending on the situation that you are in, and we need to respect that because there is a place for that for each sort of theme.

[2:53]

Many times, what happens is we become fixated on one singular angle, not appreciating the other angle. If somebody likes the objective type of coverage, and then they start bashing the subjective type of content that gets circulated or gets talked about, then that doesn’t mean that the subject to content doesn’t have any kind of place overall in the dynamics.
