The popular distinction between 'constructive' and 'destructive' criticism is a sentimentality: the mind too weak to perceive in what respects the bad fails is not strong enough to appreciate in what the good succeeds. To be without discrimination is to be unable to praise. The critic who lets you know that he always looks for something to like in works he discusses is not telling you anything about the works or about art .Anonymous

Criticism is a necessity in our society, but it can be done in a constructive way. It doesn’t mean that you have to praise everything. Your criticism should be constructive so that you have something to improve on. Also, the person being criticized should know what they are doing wrong so that they can fix it for the next time around.
