Nonobjective for Dummies

Hey there, buddy! So, you want to know what "nonobjective" means? Well, I'm here to help you understand it easily. Nonobjective is a big word, but don't worry, we'll break it down together.

Let's start by breaking the word into two parts: "non" and "objective." Don't they look strange when we split them like that? But trust me, it's simpler than it seems!

Okay, let's think about this: do you know what "objective" means? It's when something is based on facts, evidence, or things that we can measure. When we say something is objective, it's like saying, "Hey, this is true, and we can prove it!" It's like when we measure how tall a dog is or what color is the sky. We can all agree on those things because they are facts that we can see.

Now, let's think about the opposite of objective. If objective is about facts and evidence, then nonobjective means the opposite of that. It means something that is not based on facts or cannot be proven. It's like saying, "Hey, this is just a feeling or an idea, and it may be different for different people." Nonobjective things are more about opinions and personal experiences.

So, when we talk about nonobjective, we're usually talking about things that are not based on facts or evidence, but rather on feelings, emotions, or personal interpretations.

For example, let's say we're talking about a piece of artwork. If the artwork is nonobjective, it means the artist created it without representing anything specific. There are no recognizable objects or things that we can say, "Hey, that's a house" or "That's a tree." Instead, it's more about colors, shapes, and forms that make us feel or think in different ways. Nonobjective art is like a dream or a feeling that you can't really explain with words. It's based on the artist's personal expression rather than showing something realistic.

And here's another example: imagine you and your friends are telling stories. Some of you may talk about real experiences you've had, like going to a zoo or playing at the park. Those stories are objective because they are based on facts and things that actually happened. But some of you may also tell stories that are made up, like stories about dragons or spaceships. Those stories are nonobjective because they are not based on real things. They are just products of your imagination.

So, my dear student, when we say something is "nonobjective," we mean it's more about feelings, opinions, or imagination rather than facts or something we can prove. It's like thinking about things in a different way, away from what we can see or measure. I hope that makes sense to you now. Remember, nonobjective is just a fancy word for something that can't be proven or doesn't have a specific meaning.
