Criticism: Offer it constructively (1)


Perspectives
The 14th century identified criticism purely in the literary perspective; offering appraisal of art and literature. The 20th century saw it approaching pros and cons and identified it as scientific activity. Currently the 21st century is evidence to criticism being a loosely adopted method to have objection, express dissent and reject something outright with minimal compassion. Used meaningfully, criticism is an effective stimulus to generate personal growth and mitigate improvement in performance. Nonetheless a tool is not effective unless used suitably.  The content, intent and recipient ought to be fitting to make the impact. Criticism is effective if it matches these ground rules:
constructive criticism
there are bitter truths that need to be spoken
they can however be spoken sweetly
rudeness is not mandatory
kindness is
Concise
Respectful
Insightful
Truthful
Introspective
Clear
Important
Sincere
Meaningful
