 * Criticism comes to us in many different ways and has been affecting us since the day we were born. It also comes from many different people ranging from parents to friends to teachers. Everybody just always seems to have something to critique about you. Evidently just by living in the world it’s certainly evident that some forms are a lot more beneficial than others. Although argued by Selena Alum  that negative criticism can lead to bad traits in children in the later future, current psychologists and parents say that negative criticism can have positive results as well. In a more obvious and expected situation, if you harshly criticize a young child for crossing the street without looking, although he might be hurt by the harshness behind your voice there is no denying that you benefited that child in the long run. He or she will no longer cross the street without looking, and by doing that you can avoid certain accidents. **
 *  The main person I’ve been looking into for my research project is the one and only Bob Knight, a legendary NCAA basketball coach. Although some NCAA analysts may argue against the extremities in his coaching style  and using the fact that he has been accused several times of emotionally and verbally and physically abusing his players, which has been proven several times, to support their cause, there’s no denying that his methods bring results. He has over 5 national championships under his belt and his teams almost always have the highest rate of graduates in the NCAA. Although Bob Knight’s techniques worked on the basketball court, I have yet to research the effect it has had on his players in the long run. Whether or not they’re successful due to his coaching techniques, or how it has affected their personality in the long run. **
 * Some people such as USC professor Darnell Cole claim that criticism can be taken many different ways depending on one’s race while his colleagues claim that one’s age is what determines how they use criticism. I'm not certain about how deep I should go into the racial side of criticism because I could end up stuck in the glue of racism and cultural rights. **
 * //__When I was a child, I used to think that my parents criticized me just because they could. But now that I'm older I've learned better.__// All the things that I've learned NOT to do have helped me in the long run. Due to me wanting to make my paper a narrative as well I'm also considering adding parts of my own experiences to enhance my paper. **
 *  Right now, I have yet to pool many resources together. I think it’s due to the fact that I’m very interested in this topic and tend to get drawn into something totally off topic such as the psychological and sociological side of criticism rather than the effects it may have. I also need to find more positive sides to destructive criticism OTHER than Bob Knight because his criticism is not the only factor towards his success. **
