Object functions as a verb, and a noun, and has many meanings. One of the meanings of object is to express disapproval to someone or something, expressing reluctance. Its variants are objects, objecting and objector.

As an adjective, it refers to something external to the mind, real, factual, existing, uncoloured facts as a result of feelings or emotions; in grammar a word in a sentence constructed as proportionate to the object of a transitive verb or preposition. As a noun, it means something aimed, something sought, and an objective in grammar. The variants of objective are objectively (adverb), objectivity (noun), and objectivize (verb).

“When can our brain’s innate objectivity begin to flourish? Only when our self-centred subjectivity beings to dissolve.” –James H.

Objectivity means the state of being unbiased, just, not influenced by prejudices; reality; something that is described as it is without misreporting or misrepresenting; something that is perceived to be true to comprehend or understand; objectivity also means the object of understanding. Objectivity also indicates to something that one understands intellectually as result being felt, thereof.

Objectivity is to maintain neutrality. Journalist should maintain objectivity by reporting on events in a fair, accurate, unbiased manner and without being influenced by region, religion, caste, money. If a newspaper fails to maintain objectivity in its reportage there is a greater possibility to lose the confidence of the readers. Failure to maintain objectivity will result in migration of the reader, or just stop watching a television channel or buying the newspaper.

Are you an objective person, or a subjective? The opposite of objectivity is subjectivity.
