Oversigt
Ordet 'kritik' stammer fra græsk og betegner oprindeligt evnen til at skelne eller bedømme. I moderne dansk bruges det både i en negativ forstand, hvor man påpeger fejl, og i en professionel forstand, hvor man analyserer kvaliteten af et værk eller en handling. 2) Brugsmønstre: Man kan både 'give' kritik, 'modtage' kritik og 'være genstand for' kritik. Det er et ord, der optræder i mange sammenhænge, fra dagligdags feedback til formelle anmeldelser i aviser. 3) Almindelige kontekster: I en arbejdssammenhæng taler man ofte om 'konstruktiv kritik', som er feedback, der skal hjælpe modtageren med at forbedre sig. Inden for kulturverdenen bruges ordet om en 'anmeldelse', hvor en kritiker vurderer en film, bog eller teaterforestilling. I politiske sammenhænge bruges ordet ofte om oppositionens modstand mod regeringens politik. 4) Sammenligning: 'Kritik' kan forveksles med 'skældud', men hvor skældud er følelsesladet og ofte irettesættende, er kritik (ideelt set) mere saglig og fokuseret på selve emnet frem for personen. 'Anmeldelse' er en specifik form for kritik, der fokuserer på kunstneriske værker.
