Social interaction in which language is communicated that is intended to make progress, unlike derogatory speech. It may be used to appease or question another person.
Sometimes criticism can result in collective improvement, useful feedback and to generate productive debate. At other times it can be less creative, more offensive. Some people don’t appreciate criticism, seeing it as more of a personal attack or unexpected and undeserved rebuff. On the internet, criticism can turn in to a flame war.
