Correction and criticism seems to be alike when we use them to express our opinions towards people, but a deep study revealed that they're not the same.
Let's go and study some things about them starting with their definitions.
Criticism- An expression of disapproval of something or someone on to the basis of a perceived fault(s) or mistakes.
From this definition you will notice key words like (1)expression of disapproval, (2)based on a perceived fault or mistakes.
Criticism is also synonymous to condemnation, disapproval...Etc..
Correction- is a change that makes something more accurate than it was before. It's a change that rectifies an error.
Key words are change, makes accurate.
Synonyms are improvement, amendment..etc.
DIFFERENCES
- Criticism reveals the fault or mistake while Correction reveals the improvements from the fault or mistake.
- When you receive Corrrection, it will point to a better outcome. Criticism will only show you the fault which can lead to condemnation.
- Correction is mutual while criticism is self centered. It doesn't consider the other party because reckless words are be used.
- Criticism brings about temporary behavioral modifications while correction brings genuine change of heart ❤️.
THEIR APPLICATIONS
- When one receive Corrrection, he will take responsibility for his actions and try to improve on the fault.
When people are criticized, they usually hide under self exernorating excuses.
- Most often than not correction improves a person (Prov 15:32), but criticism reduces a person's self esteem and this can to persistency in the criticized act just prove the critic wrong.
So in correction, the person being corrected tends to agree while in Critcism the person tends to disagree.
Sometimes we want to correct people but end up criticizing them without knowing...why?
Body language, manner of approach, force.....etc. all these can turn correction to criticism.
What should I do?
When you want to correct someone, also know that this person has a will ie ability to choose whether to agree or disapprove. The wise thing to do is leave them to make the decision themselves.... DON'T FORCE IT FOR YOU CAN'T CHANGE THEM YOURSELF.
I have heard about constructive criticism and I have discovered that it is aimed at correcting.
WAYS TO CARRY CORRECTION
- Take no offence (Prov12:1)
- Flexibility (Prov 19:20)
- Learn from it (Prov 15:32).
