Objectivity.

Objectivity is something that relates to something or someone independently of the opinion of any individual.

I order to make an objective assessment, it's necessary to consider the process based on real facts.

Objectivity results in the same outcome even if different people give the rating. Subjectivity results in the rating being based on the person's opinion.

Subjectivity.

Subjectivity is something that relates to the thoughts of a specific person.

Some people simply express their opinion about a subject and give it a rating. However, points of view may differ.

Objectivity is the opposite of subjectivity. These are different philosophical ideas.

“Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life. ”

“Tis strange - but true; for Truth is always strange, Stranger than Fiction”

“Friendship is love without wings.”

“I only go out to get me a fresh appetite for being alone.”

Tales from childhood: How I look at life.

Good evening, everyone! I'm a friend of Raymond's family. I want to tell you about my views.

I'm a positive person. That's what my wife says. If you succeed, then it's good. And if not, then you didn't really want it. Maybe you can do these things next time.

Also, of someone speaks badly about you, don't be upset, because if people call you that, it's they who call you that.

I immediately forget about such trifles. And I advise others to do the same.

"Yes, that's how it should be!" my child said.

Tales from childhood: Real friend?

“Our daughter often talks about a certain person. Allegedly, he lost his face in an accident and his wife left him with their child. Then he had surgery to reconstruct his face.” Angela’s mother said.

“I haven’t heard anything about him. Also, I haven’t anything know about this story.” Angela’s father said.

“Maybe it’s better for such people to be as quiet as possible and not to show themselves.” the wife said.

“Yes, let such strange people roam other places. For example, in forest.” the husband said.

“It’s good that Angela now lives with Raymond and Maria, I think she’s better off there.” the woman said.

“I think so, too.” the man said.

Tales from childhood: Value and respect.

Sophie knew many different people. They have different characters. She knew their situations.

Her friends told her how important it is to be polite.

“Sophie, you must be kind to people.” Natalie said.

Sophie listened to these words.

“Also, you must remember that there are things which have simple structure. This is something you shouldn’t take seriously.” Sophie’s mother said.

Mom is right here. There are things and people that you shouldn’t pay attention to because it’s not worth my time. Besides, she herself had already become disappointed in some things.

The opposite happens, too. When a person is condemned when shouldn't be done. For example, it was in vain that the wife didn’t support Timothy.

The children had to learn the verse at home and recite it at school.

"Students, let's read the verse!" the older teacher said and looked at Kate.

"Come on, you answer." the teacher said.

"I didn't learn the verse." Kate said.

"Badly." the teacher said.

"Can you answer your homework?" the older teacher said and looked at Anne.

"I forgot about my homework." Anne said as she lowered her eyes.

Sophie and some of the other students recited the verse well or not.

The next day, the teacher and students discussed what happened.

"Those who didn't prepare their homework showed themselves on the bad side. Because this teacher has been working in our school for many years. Anne's brother is in tenth grade. She knows him. Some of your parents studied here, too." the teacher said.

After these words, many children really thought.
