Thee best way to accomplish giving and receiving criticism effectively is to use "I"language. "I" language is when you own up to your feelings and your reactions to them. For example: 1. "You hurt my feelings," one could say, "My feelings are hurt because of some of the things you said”. 2."You make me look stupid" instead, one should say, "I don't look as good because you need some help on your project.” “I” Language Cooperative Learning

"I" language is helpful because it simply states how the person feels and does not cast blame on any specific person. Leaving the blame out of a conversation helps promote a discussion rather than an outright argument. The other person will not feel defensive if the blame is not cast on them but is stated in a way that invites a solution. When someone feels threatened, they will typically think and speak irrationally trying to defend themselves instead of trying to solve the situation. Using "I"language will typically surpass these situations and provide for a provincial discussion. “I” Language Cooperative Learning
