	Objective approach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An objective approach is particularly important in science, and in decision-making processes which affect large numbers of people (e.g.
		Taking an "objective approach" may not always be relevant, particularly in cases where it is impossible to be objective either because the relevant facts and viewpoints necessary are lacking, or because it is the subjective opinion or response that happens to be important.
		Taking an objective approach often contrasts with arguments from authority, where it is argued that X is true because an authority Y says so.

		[59] Invoking the subjective approach, he rejected the government's assertion that the defendant's criminal record—a nine-year-old drug sales conviction and a five-year-old possession conviction—demonstrated a predisposition to commit the crime, particularly in light of the fact that the defendant was trying to overcome his addiction at the time of the inducement.
		The foundation for the objective approach to entrapment is traceable to Justice Brandeis' dissent in the 1928 case of Casey v.
		It was this characteristic that compelled Justice Roberts in 1932 to argue for the adoption of an objective approach to entrapment.

	The President's Council on Bioethics: Treatment Decisions for Dementia Patients: The Search for Normative Boundaries
		Applying objective standards involves weighing and balancing the benefits and burdens that an incompetent patient would experience if treatment were administered or forgone. Examples of benefits and burdens are pain, distress, pleasure, and enjoyment.
		In sum, the dearth of advance directives and the shortcomings of the substituted judgment standard make the objective approach central to most real cases. Because they have been preoccupied with advance directives, however, scholars and policy officials have neglected this approach. As a result, it lacks precision and rigor.
		One way to restrict the scope of reasonable person judgments is to require evidence that a substantial percentage of the public agrees with them. For example, in several surveys of the general public, at least 80 percent said that if they became irreversibly unconscious they would want life support withheld at their families’ request.

	Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology
		There are qualities of personal experience as well as qualities of objective evidence, and any personal experience is usually more meaningful to the subject than academic debates by experts.
		Of course, it is important that reputable scientists engage in parapsychological research, even if the findings of hundreds of laboratory tests mean less to the man and woman in the street than a single spontaneous experience.
		Certain mysteries such as the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, and Unidentified Flying Objects have a valid inclusion, even if they may someday be identified as elusive but objective entities around witch legends and mythologies have grown.

	Decision Based Design Open Workshop - Question For Debate Comments
		It is not rational to believe that the objective of Profit or any other single utility can be derived at all levels and help drive the design process.
		During that trade-off exercise, he/she may observe the effect of changing a solution on some objective not considered in the study, and let that objective influence the choice with the others.
		However, the next question that should be asked is "how to make this profit?" which leads the designer to elaborate this high level objective and identify several aspects of it which are relevant to the current decision situation.

	Antlion Pit: "Medieval Bestiaries and the Birth of Zoology"
		Indeed, the faults which we find in their writings today were mainly due to the fact that they were unable to gather the information themselves and had to rely on second-hand accounts, which often led them astray.
		Although medieval natural philosophers tried to approach nature objectively, they found it inconceivable that nature could be studied independently from God, its creator, and Man, its user.
		As the end of the 13th century approached, however, curiosity about nature for its own sake began to emerge, and with it, a keener investigation of old beliefs which eventually sorted through fiction in search of fact.

	Advent Children.forums - Alcohol V. Marijuana (An Objective Approach)
		Oh, and for the murder and theft concepts, I believe you're trying to explain that cultural differences provide different approaches to what we deem to be "illegal" or "immoral".
		We are supposed to understand that just because we think different and approach things different doesn't mean either party is wrong.
		I only give one example of a potential health risk for smoking marijuana, but I think that before anybody does give a serious discussion on all three, all of the possible risks should be stated instead of a few quick quotes.

		Hopefully, someday the UFO mystery will be examined by experts who will take a fresh and objective approach to the phenomenon.
