ISSUE157 - "There is no such thing as purely objective observation. All observation is subjective; it is always guided by the observer's expectations or desires."

The speaker unfairly asserts that all observation is subjective and the speaker's maintenance that there is no such thing as purely objective is groundless. To some extent, the speaker has failed to draw distinction between the process of observation and the final interpretation.
First of all we should pay attention to the human's overall process of attaining information, which can divided into dual aspects according to substantial empirical evidences----observation and interpretation. Observations, the threshold of the process, are accord with various people if other objective determinants such as, the spatial position, the concrete time and so forth, have been maintained. Similarly, given the same objective determinations, can anyone tell the essential difference of two pictures, one taken by Nikon and one taken by Canon? Can anyone point out the distinction of the papers having same content, but opened in two various PC? Thereby, observation must be objective. With respect to interpretation considerable elements such as, educational background, values, even the correspondingly various childhood experiences clouded by varying degree family tension can make a contribution to lead the final conclusion of observation to a number of directions. For example, People might read the same literary work several times ,yet some people treat it as the miniature of writer's inner world, while others consider it as the spitting image of the real world. Art history is replete with example of "Mona Lisa Smile", of which contentions about the smile are completely different from various people. Someone find it seems amiable, while others consider it including a bit blue. Thus, the second process is not only subjective, but also objective.

In the meantime, however, the relationship of object and subject in the process of observation and interpretation have been changing with the progress of science and the development of humanities .Science technologies and the further understanding of ourselves serve as catalyst broadening the extent of observation and diminishing the prejudices in the final interpretations. For supporting examples one need look no further than the development of Astronomy. Until the invention of telescope human can in the strict sense free from the religious notion that we are the central of the university. At the same time human can propose much more hypothesis which might be subjective.


To sum up, people observe the same things ,but then correspondingly various interpretations are brought to mind because of the distinct individuals. At some point there is no such thing as objective final interpretation, but objective observation. And both object and subject are always changing their characteristics in our daily life.
