Fortunately, there are several excellent methods for giving constructive criticism that are unlikely to trigger bad feelings. Since requests go a much longer way toward achieving cooperation than snide remarks, put-downs and negative declarations, the first method of constructive criticism is to request a specific change in the future instead of pointing out something negative in the present.
A technique of constructive criticism is called the "sandwich method" in which one sandwiches the meat of a criticism between two positive comments.
Hence, instead of saying "You did a lousy job writing this report," using the sandwich method one could say "You did a great job on the introduction, but the middle section and conclusion seem a little weak. With a bit more work, I'm sure you can tighten it up into a really good report."
It's also important to keep in mind that how you say things matters as much as what you say. If you want to deliver constructive criticism skillfully it's helpful to practice using "I-statements" rather than "You-statements”
destructive criticism.
To summarize:
Try the "sandwich method" as much as possible.
Practice requesting positive change in the future instead of complaining about current behavior.
Deliver your messages in the form of I-statements rather than You-statements.
Finally, keep in mind that giving criticism is a skill that, like all skills, can be mastered through learning and practice.
“what do you think about constructive criticism?
“I think it’s good as long as you don’t be harsh”
“I agree!”
A situation presented for the express purpose of discussion intended to highlight flaws in the idea and evolve it while exposing the moral values of the individuals involved.
The parameters of said argument constantly evolve and change with the will of the originator, thus creating an ever fluctuating topic.
"What would you do if ten naked lesbian vampires came into your room and wanted to rape you?"
"I'd leave."
"No, you can't, the door is locked."
"I'd jump out the window."
"That's sealed shut."
"Die happy."
The broad genre of music that is heard at every single contruction site in the United States and Canada. It isn't just metal, it is also buttrock, classic rock and alternative. No matter how many times "Fade To Black" is heard on the radio in one day, it doesn't get old to blue collared construction workers who are huge enthusiasts of the genre.
Some popular construction rock bands are Guns and Roses, Bush, Stone Temple Pilots, The Doobie Brothers, Journey, Def Leopard, Heart, Rush and The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
My mind used to be more open when it came to music. I then started working as an HVAC technician. I have grown to be so sick of hearing all of that construction rock. If I hear AC/DC one more time I am going to come back in the middle of the night and set every single house here a blaze. I don't care if I lose my pay.

A rhetorical technique used (often by a neurotic undergraduate a with a Yoko Ono tattoo) to deny the existence of irrefutable fact. But this is not its original meaning:
Properly understood, a social construct is a thing that emerges as a result of social interaction. For instance, the price of gold is a social construct—it emerges from the market for gold as an approximation of how society presently values gold in relation to another asset, usually currency.
Social constructs are no less "real" than the price of gold is "real." It's not as real as gold itself, but it's pretty damn real.
Mondays are a social construct.

When some dipshit knows the lanes are merging into one because of a construction zone and they drive all the way to the end of the lane closing and cut you off at the last second, making them a Construction Cutfuck.
I was having a great day until that "construction cutfuck" made me slam on my breaks and made me want to beat the shit out of them.
Good thing I didn't have my AK-47 because I would have let that "construction cutfuck" take a few shells to his car.
