πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»The judger is called a critic.
To engage in criticism is to criticise (in British English – see American and British English spelling differences.)
One specific item of criticism is called a criticism or critique.
Criticism is an evaluative or corrective exercise that can occur in any area of human life. Criticism can therefore take many different forms (see below). How exactly people go about criticizing, can vary a great deal. In specific areas of human endeavour, the form of criticism can be highly specialized and technical; it often requires professional knowledge to understand the criticism.

πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉAnother meaning of criticism is the study, evaluation, and interpretation of literature, artwork, film, and social trends  The goal of this type of criticism is to understand the possible meanings of cultural phenomena, and the context in which they take shape. In so doing, the attempt is often made to evaluate how cultural productions relate to other cultural productions, and what their place is within a particular genre, or a particular cultural tradition.


πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉEarly English meaning
The English word criticism is derived from the French critique, which dates back to at least the 14th century.
The words "critic" and "critical" existed in the English language from the mid-16th century, and the word "criticism" first made its appearance in English in the early 17th century

πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»✋🏼In turn, the French expression critique has roots in Latin ("criticus" – a judger, decider, or critic), and, even earlier, classical Greek language ("krites" means judge, and "kritikos" means able to make judgements, or the critic). Related Greek terms are krinein (separating out, deciding), krei- (to sieve, discriminate, or distinguish) and krisis (literally, the judgement, the result of a trial, or a selection resulting from a choice or decision). Crito is also the name of a pupil and friend of the Greek philosopher Socrates, as well as the name of an imaginary dialogue about justice written by the philosopher Plato in the context of the execution of Socrates.

πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»✋🏼The early English meaning of criticism was primarily literary criticism, that of judging and interpreting literature. Samuel Johnson is often held as the prime example of criticism in the English language, and his contemporary Alexander Pope's Essay on Criticism is a significant landmark. In the course of the 17th century, it acquired the more general sense of censure, as well as the more specialized meaning of the "discernment of taste", i.e. the art of estimating the qualities and character of literary or artistic works, implicitly from the point of view of a consumer.

πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»✋🏼In the 19th century, criticism also gained the philosophical meaning of "a critical examination of the faculty of knowledge", particularly in the sense used by Immanuel Kant. Such criticism was carried out mainly by academic authorities, businessmen and men of property with the leisure to devote themselves to the pursuit of knowledge.


πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»✋🏼20th century
In the 20th century, all these meanings continued, but criticism acquired the more general connotation of voicing an objection, or of appraising the pros and cons of something.

The shape and meanings of criticism were influenced considerably by wars (including two world wars) occurring almost continuously somewhere in the world.


πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»✋🏼criticism have started to evolve more strongly toward "having an objection", "expressing dissent", "stating a dislike", "wanting to dissociate from something", or "rejecting something" ("If you liked it, you would not be criticizing it"). In the contemporary sense, criticism is often more the expression of an attitude, whe
