Criticism

I am taking on-line classes at Ivy Bridge College for Computers in Information Technology and one of our recent discussions moved me to share with you.  Yes it is about Criticism.  Always read and teach your children the bible, keep doing so to save everyones life.  It questions about if we as people are too soft, need constant reassurance and if criticism is to hard in the work environment.  The foundation of our study is from a book written by Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D. and the title of the book is "Mindset, the new Psychology of Success", it is a good read, and I do hate to read, but it does have my attention.  I am at chapter 6 now, just finished chapter 5 today to hand in this paper.  Any way:

I have many thought of Criticism, some that are normal to mans thinking and pleasing to the ego of the course and then there is the one who read the bible. I bring this in because we are talking about how a person feels and God created us with his quality. To ignore where our in born quality to dehumanize a man or woman, that we have no emotions at all. Moving forward to the question I will try my best to answer the question of Criticism with out preaching.
I personally find the work atmosphere at every single job I have worked since I start my first job all dehumanizing. Criticism and constant reassurance exist because we think we all should be robots in the work atmosphere. This goes back to Amy Chua, in shielding her children is not cause of week children rather giving them time to explore their human qualities that world will soon take away from them at school, work, and general contact at the store. The world will gnaw at us all soon enough, so why rush it! It is the parents job to build the communication and social skills of our child, not the worlds. The balance of criticism and reassurance is yielded by the lack of these unbuilt skills of communication and socialization replaced by rebellious contact in the world. That we released our kid in to early in to the world, with out proper eduction and monitoring of their activities while the grow up. We only heard about bomb is other countries, then our government buildings, then our colleges, and now our own high schools are not safe because we don't properly educate our children on the skills of communication and socialization, keep in mind these skill do dialog on behavior that is to say internal and external stimuli, our feelings, our thought process, our reaction to, in the circumstances. Everything, even in the work force we need to educate ourselves in technology skills, and what I call human skills. To me human skill include the communication, the socialization, and the feelings, because our current socialization skill are not expressed and educated properly for some people to realize it does include stimuli and this stimuli does include our feelings. Are we too soft, no. Is criticism too harsh, yes.

"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love." - Washington Irving

“To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.” - Confucius


In conclusion please keep rearing your children with the mental regulation of Jehovah God!  As Confucius brings out we must get our hearts right, and this is by putting Jehovah God in to our lives with every breath we take, for he gave us our breath of life.
