話し合いでは、客観と主観を区別して考えます。hana shi a i de wa kyak kan to shu kan o ku betsu shi te kanga e ma su

In discussions, we distinguish between objectivity and subjectivity.

Means judging or describing something from evidence rather than from personal feelings or interests.

個人の感情や立場に左右されず、事実に基づいて物事を見ること。ko jin no kan jō ya tachi ba ni sa yū sa re zu ji jitsu ni moto zu i te mono goto o mi ru ko to

客観 (kyakkan) is a Sino-Japanese compound of 客 (kyaku, "guest") and 観 (kan, "view"); its modern sense reflects viewing matters apart from the self.

Objectivity is commonly contrasted with subjectivity, so English discussions often use the pair to distinguish evidence-based views from personal perspectives.
