Debating Topic:

Criticism is better than praise.

Praise builds self esteem.

People that don't care if they do a good job or not aren't generally motivated by either criticism or praise because they don't care. People that want to do well can be better motivated by praise because criticism can make you nervous and more worried, and being nervous can sometimes cause you to make mistakes.

Praise is a better motivator.

Praise works better for most individuals than fear of criticism does. Positive reinforcement makes most people feel more optimistic and confident. Negative reinforcement (or criticism) affects a person's self esteem and they begin to question whether they are capable of succeeding. A positive environment helps people to succeed; whereas, criticism helps people be unhappy.

For me its criticism

I think for me it’s a motivator that people tell me how bad a job I am doing. I usually make it a deal to myself to fix these issues and push for a better outcome. I think the opposite might be true for other people, But for me praise is annoying.
