 To make the world move forward and advance humanity, striving for objectivity helps us approach information and situations with a critical eye and make sound judgments coherently.

Objectivity, is a cornerstone of many fields, both academically and in real-world practices. It refers to presenting information or making judgments in a neutral and unbiased way. That means people base their views on facts rather than personal opinions, feelings, or preferences. How objective you are, directly impacts your judgmental ability and decision skills. Objectivity is crucial in various aspects of professional and personal experience. Analogically, imagine a perfectly balanced scale: objectivity is when evidence is evenly distributed on both sides:

Objectivity in Science: Scientists rely on objectivity to ensure their experiments and conclusions aren't swayed by personal beliefs or conventional intelligence. They use methodologies that minimize bias and allow others to replicate their findings.

Objectivity in Journalism: Objective reporting strives to present all sides of a story fairly and accurately, allowing readers to form their own conclusions, rather than only listening to one side of the story, or only expressing issues with subjective opinions.

Objectivity in Law: Judges and juries aim to be objective in their decisions, basing them on evidence and the law, not emotions or personal opinions. Legal professionals should demonstrate professional integrity to make objective judgments and sustain a considerably fair society.

Difficulty in achieving objectivity: Achieving perfect objectivity is difficult because people all have cognitive threshold limits, and diverse experiences, values, and backgrounds that shape their perspectives.

Confirmation bias: People tend to favor information that confirms their existing beliefs and downplay evidence that contradicts them.

Emotional instability: Often emotions can cloud judgment and make it difficult to see things objectively.

Limited knowledge or outdated information: We live in a world with a mix of good knowledge and misinformation; people can't know everything, and their limited understanding can influence how they interpret information, how they make choices to deal with complex situations, etc.

In real-world situations, absolute objectivity might not always be achievable. Historians analyzing the past, for instance, grapple with limited information and the biases of those who documented events. Scientific researchers perhaps believe in existing theories and principles, lacking the courage to break down the thinking bottlenecks. However, to make the world move forward and advance humanity, striving for objectivity helps us approach information and situations with a critical eye and make sound judgments coherently.
