Criticism is to point out the mistakes of people or things that are dissatisfied with everyone's permission, and then put them on the table and everyone criticizes the person or thing together. Different from criticism, criticism can be given alone in a place where no one is around, but criticism must be in a prominent place and must be known to the majority of people.
