Writing objectively can be a difficult skill to master, especially when you are writing about
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Vegetarianism is, in general, the practice of living on a diet that does not include meat and even other animal products. There are, however, different kinds of vegetarian diets. Some may include eggs, for instance, while others may exclude eggs but include milk.

Explanation:

<u>Writing objectively means writing in an unbiased, impartial manner. The writer avoids manifesting his own opinion and ideas on the subject. If you read the answer above, you will see the sentences are all impartial. They contain only facts about vegetarianism, but no opinions about it are voiced. Therefore, they are examples of objective writing.</u> Compare them with the example below, which is written subjectively:

- Vegetarianism is too hard. I don't think I would last a week as a vegetarian.

See the difference? The subjective sentence above expresses a personal opinion.
