Talk:Constructive criticism

Constructive criticism, is it constructive? in who's opinion? there must be a defined set of rules for constructive criticism. Firstly the criticism must have been invited, secondly to be constructive the criticism needs to be reasonably acheiveable by the receiver of the criticisum. ie I think the painting would look better if you placed it on that wall, rather that I could of done a better job. Often criticism is not invited and forms one of the 12 major roadblocks to communication and can be very distructive and often an ineffective way of getting a message accross. see Robert Boltons book People Skills. Critisusum mas also an interest of Psycologist Carl Rogers who wrote that it was a major barrier to communication based on our habit to judge. Critical thinking and Argument culture are the suject of Edward de Bono's book Six Thinking Hats where he talks about the different modes of thinking based on our sensitisation to different things pitfalls oppertunities asthetics etc.

Criticism varys on who you ask and is a matter of opinion and therefore always subjective. Alexm2001 23:47, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

I was teaching a class that was editing so I decided to add a bit of information to this page. What I added as a source and is marked on the page Dnmppolitico (talk) 18:33, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Proposed merger with Criticism
Criticism contains much more detailed, broader and more in-depth information on constructive criticism than the present article. Suggest we consider merging the two articles. Ijon Tichy x2 (talk) 19:13, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
