Negative criticism is made out of spite, to put down or demonise the party or thing being criticised. Sometimes, it is made out of good intention, but from the perspective of prejudice or ignorance. The best negative criticism may point out a problem that everybody knows about, but it offers no solution. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Any fool can criticise, condemn and complain, and most fools do.” Constructive criticism is born out of genuine concern or even love for the person or thing criticised. The best critics are those who have knowledge and experience in the subject matter, and have given long and careful thought to the matter at hand before they even open their mouth.
