criticism

Michael Ryan offers a different type of introduction, which involves the reader in the problems and pleasures of thinking about criticism. This introduction is by far the best I have read in a while. It has various topics that are very imformative. I enjoyed reading about and talking in class about how when people talk to you in a certain way, some get affended by it and others don't. Sometimes when im texting a friend of mine, I never canntell how they are imforming me and whether its harsh or not. We as Americans are so spoiled that we think we can get what we want through communication but we can't. We have to learn to live with hateful people sometimes. A lot of texts in books and magizines, etc. affend people and no one knows how to handle it. My opinion about criticism varies depending on how its given. People have to learn how to handle different types of criticism. Cultural images influence our human behavior, our ideas change history, and our spoken words have force. Words are physical things, they can hurt or heal.
