- Being subjective means using your own personal views and biases while overlooking others when thinking or making decisions. If someone/something is being extremely subjective without admitting that, they become biased. A good example is, the Fox News Channel, which, despite heavily supporting Conservatives, claims to be "fair and balanced".
- A subjective opinion is one that is not necessarily based on fact or "objective" data. It can be based on personal preference or feelings. While it is perfectly valid to like or dislike a book for any or no reason, it's less likely to convince anyone else than a more reasoned review.
- The subject refers to an individual's personal mental and emotional activity, while the object refers to collectively shared descriptions of physical events and interactions. In the essay What is it like to be a bat?, Thomas Nagel famously argued that explaining subjective experience -- the "what it is like" to be something -- is currently beyond the reach of scientific inquiry, because scientific understanding by definition requires an objective perspective, which, according to Nagel, is diametrically opposed to the subjective first-person point of view.

| abstract | - The subject refers to an individual's personal mental and emotional activity, while the object refers to collectively shared descriptions of physical events and interactions. In the essay What is it like to be a bat?, Thomas Nagel famously argued that explaining subjective experience -- the "what it is like" to be something -- is currently beyond the reach of scientific inquiry, because scientific understanding by definition requires an objective perspective, which, according to Nagel, is diametrically opposed to the subjective first-person point of view. Example: (The Causal Efficacy of the Subject) Significant changes in physiology were noted when participants were asked to focus their attention on a specific emotional feeling, such as care, appreciation, or compassion. It was discovered that by deliberately altering ones emotional (subjective) state and sustaining it, changes could be affected at the neuro-/biochemical (objective) level that cascaded down into changes in behavior (objective).
