Although I know basically what these two words mean "Objectivity" and "Subjectivity" I want to seee your definitions mean, and if, and only IF, you can apply them to a subject then please do....anything like Asthma, Anorexia or whatever. Otherwise, I want to know what your definitions are?

Objectivity: is the ACTIVE ability...to make or form a judgment about the APPEARANCE of something, based solely on what you see in front of you, and NOT by what influenced you emotionally, or gave you any personal opinion about it.
Subjectivity: again, is an ACTIVE ability...to form a judgment about something, based solely on your emotions and personal opinions, and NOT having to rely on any EXTERNAL FACTS.
For example: the OBSERVABLE differences between Anorexia, and Obesity.

In this case, Subjective would b e you own experience or view, where as, Objective would be, a professional or, Psychological view. Thanks.

Very good.
Now you've got it.
However, being objective does not necessarily have to be a "professional" point of view, although it can be. It merely means that the person making the observation, is not emotionally moved by what they see, nor do they have a personal opinion about it either. Being subjective on the other hand, is basically taking the opposite objective point of view position, in that they ARE involved emotionally, AND have something to say about it at the same time.
But I like your answer better. It sounds simpler.
