It is often difficult to read your own work objectively. When we are emotional invested in any work, we often over look the flaws of the work. When we read the work of another, it is much easier to be objective and pick apart anything we see out of the norm. When a writer has an agenda that can be identified, based on how the reader feels about their goals, directly affects what preconceptions the reader has about the material. These worksheets can be used to help students less subjectively and be thought first with their work.

How Read a Body of Work Objectively?


Objective write-up refers to the facts driven piece of script. It can be verified with authentic facts and evidence. Objective write-up demands to be constructed in the best neutral way possible with the flow of logical, statistical and factual researched content. This writing style is most often used when the writer needs to portray a piece of unbiased information in front of the readers.


For instance: News reports, Articles, School textbooks or scientific books are most common example of objective work body.


Objective work body helps readers create their own opinions without emotionally getting attracted to the content as they do in subjective write-ups. Here are some tricks for students to read content and find how objective body works.


How to Read Objective Body Work?


While reading any content, keep these points in mind to identify objective work body.


See if an author has been focused on the single subject and instead of playing with words in vague, he remains specific on facts and evidences in particular.


Example:
Almost every American voted for the president" (Vague)
About 82% Americans voted for the president" (Objective)


The text should not be subjected on a single target having biased, opinionated, prejudiced or exclusive language of an author on that particular subject-matter. The context should be balanced and neutral in opinion.


Example:
Men and Girls (Subjective)
Men and Women (Objective)


Objective body of work must be avoided to be written in first person. It should be more about the topic rather than the author's view, estimation or opinion. Rather the subject should be explained in the text and supported by facts and evidence.


Example:
I believe that in year…. (Subjective)
As per Smith (1999)….. (Objective)


Objective write-up should not be exaggerated with fantasy or emotional based content. Words like "Therefore, Always, Never, very or really" should be avoided as it makes the write up body falsified and weak. Objective write up should be concise and factual.
