In this society that we are living we often be a critic or a critique but the thing is in this case what do you think is needed to be possessed a critic or critique? What are its differences? It is bad to be one of those two and do we really need to be that type of person? In the status quo that we are actually seeing, both of these two are evident especially in giving comments on movies, essays, poems and stories, for me this is not a bad thing to be considered because it will all boil down to how one individual will accept, or neglect it.
First we are going to differentiate both terms using a dictionary, and other resources. With the use of Cambridge dictionary a critic is a person whose job is to give an opinion about books, movies, or music and theater performances or a person who expresses disagreement with something or disapproval of someone while on the other hand a criticism or critical comment on some problem, subject, etc. which who give opinions or opinions in good and bad way in short a balanced opinion. With this I can say I am both a critic and a critique.
Whether you are working on the first draft of your book, editing your short story, or experimenting with different forms of poetry, getting criticism from fellow writers (and readers) should be a regular part of your creative process. Let’s face it: anyone can put words on a page and call it a story, or divide those words up into stanzas and call it a poem. With this I can say that I am like a critique who gives appreciation to all the positives that I see and at the same time gives reviews or suggestions about things that I can see as not as good as the others. Being this kind of person is good to be honest because it is a way on how a writer can improve. But sometimes I can consider myself a critic who can also see bad things or sometimes just disagrees and not give my reason why.
We must all remember that in giving feedback or comments, be polite and be in the best manner in order for you to communicate better. There is nothing wrong with being any of these as long as you have and are shown for their work. We can also give constructive criticism which is easier to digest as a person. Constructive criticism is a valuable tool in the workplace that allows individuals to learn and grow. But quite often people don’t realize what a great resource it can be. The truth is, feedback and criticism can really help all of us succeed in the workplace and in life.
