Criticism is a powerful tool in life, we are able to learn about offers opinions of ourselves with critism. It can reveal to us aspects to us we don't recognise, and we can recognise and find ways to improve those aspects. We all receive critism in our lives, but we don't always receive good constructive critism. By definition crism means an expression of disapproval. We have all given critism to someone, and we all have expressed our disapproval with what someone is doing, saying and acting. Our motives to criticism may be different, either it is just giving someone helpful advice, or it is out of anger or frustration or it is because our ego wants to increase its own statutes. We are all human, we have all given someone bad criticism to lessen them and make ourselves feel better. The truth is cissism is an art, that we all develop as we go older and develop in. In todays clarity blog we will be giving the best criticism.

When we give or receive bad critism it all has one thing in common. It's motive is to either discourage a person from doing something, is negative in nature in the words it uses and the tone of critism. This form of critism is toxic, since it puts apperson down and lowers their self esteem and ability to do something. Ot can be vicious and attack the person, bad criticism often uses negative words like 'don't', 'can't', 'never', and may describe what the person is doing as 'pathetic', 'stupid', 'annoying'. And example of bad critism would be 'don't style your hair that way, it looks stupid and doesn't fit your outfit, try straightening it down'. This example is much like most negative criticism, it uses negative terminology, it is vicious and attacks the person rather than helping.

Good criticisms involves someone, offering advice in a way which presence itself as an add on to what a person is doing. It is just advice which you can us. Bear in mind good advice is more useful that bad advice, since it provides a different and helpful perspective. For instance 'To make the outfit look better, just try to straighten your hair, it will add more elegance'. This advice is not harsh like the other one, it uses positive terms like 'should'. And also may incorporate some form of compliment, most good advice is given before or after a compliment it and incorporates something nice or good message within it. This form of compliment boosts a person's outlook. This form of critism is easier to deal with since it is understandable and applicable to the person.
To conclude, a lot of people dislikes critism since they have only received bad criticism. However, critism is not bad, it is an expression of discontempt. We all are discontempt over things at times, and expressing them is useful since it guarantees that everything is up to a good standard and it can encourage a person to better themselves.
