Who knows exactly the difference between objective and object?

For instance:

The government whose object/objective is the good of people…

Best Answer

In a broader sense, an object is a visible entity. But both those words, object and objective have a common meaning referring to:

The goal intended to be attained (and which is believed to be attainable)

Various other words which can be used are aim and target. Therefore, all the following have the same meaning:

  • The government whose objective is the good of people.
  • The government whose object is the good of people.
  • The government whose aim is the good of people.
  • The government whose target is the good of people.
