May I possibly have some examples please?
Thanks in advance.
End(s):
The rabbits used violence to achieve their ends.
Media manipulates the news for political ends.
A famous saying is "The ends justify the means"
Kant argues that we should treat people as ends in themselves and never as means to an end.
Goal:
My goal in life is to be extremely rich.
The goal of our organization is to raise awareness of the plight of rabbits.
Objective:
My objective in taking this class is to learn how to start my own business.
The objective of our social media campaign is to raise awareness of the plight of rabbits among teenagers. The campaign will be carried out ... blah blah blah
Aim:
I aim to earn $10,000 a year by the time I'm 30.
The writer's aim is to persuade her audience.
Our aim is to raise $40,000 to build a rabbit shelter.
All this being said, in many cases
aim,
goal, and
objective are interchangeable.
In my mind, at least, if you say
"Our goal is to raise awareness" -- I hear something broad and abstract
vs.
"Our objective is to raise awareness" -- I would assume a context of a step-by-step plan of how you're going to do it
vs.
"Our aim is to raise awareness" -- this is more or less like goal but stresses the motion towards the target, target being the raised awareness
Comments and objections are welcome.
