THE TRAVESTY OF CRITICISM


Olasehinde Kabirat, 200L Political science student, writes

I
 am not that sure what it means as many people aren't also. I don't know if I am for or against the concept. A lot of people argue that the disadvantages are more to its advantages but I feel this argument is for a brand of criticism that is termed hating, harsh, caustic and silly. I don't even know what to call this, criticism or what?

Criticism based on Oxford thesis, is defined as the expression of disapproval and of nothing the problems or faults of a person or thing.

Criticizing is usually unfavorably. Criticism is the act of judging the merits and faults of something or someone. It hurts and pains me when I see how some people react to other people's ideas and opinions. Hearing other people's honest perspective can be very beneficial to our growth and the expansion of the universe. What we must first understand is that it is painful to negatively judge and disapprove of something for both the giver of the criticism or the receiver. Some people have the fear of contributing to a matter or discussion because they fear of being criticized. Coupled with this, they decide to keep their opinions and ideas to themselves.

Criticism gives space for both parties' hearing
Looking for loopholes in someone's idea is wrong but helping them perfect their theory is right. Criticism kills the interest of people in bringing up their expressions and therefore leaves them with no iota of new ideas but fear if the critic does not know the better way to make it. We are all different likewise our opinions and ideas.
