Review

In the era of freedom of speech as it is today everyone is free to express his thoughts on various things. Starting from social issues, politics, economy, to entertainment all can be commented on. Especially with the availability of comment columns on various websites and social media, making it easier for people to express the contents of the mind. Just type the sentence that is in mind in the column so our opinion will be readable by many people.

Critical comments are certainly needed to provide feedback to others. Through criticism we can also fix something wrong where it can not be realized. But unfortunately, now not a few people difficult to distinguish between what is called criticism and blasphemy. As a result there are many rough sentences scattered in various columns of comments that claimed to be 'critic' instead of blasphemy.

Sample case

Lately there has been widespread criticism in social media, the victims also do not see people including the president. Still warm in the memories associated with Circular (SE) or Hate Speech issued by the Chief of Police recently to jokowi.

As an open leader, Jokowi is certainly not allergic to criticism. Jokowi also always receive criticism from anyone without ever questioning from which group of critics it. In fact, Jokowi did not hesitate to meet or invite his critics to the palace to listen directly from the first source of his criticism. The crowd forgot the difference of criticism and insult. "People can no longer sort out which criticisms are instigating, where is the criticism, where is hate speech" Jokowi said.

Reference

Well we will refer to the basic definition of insulting and criticizing words :

Criticizing

Wikipedia, Criticism is a matter of analyzing and evaluating things in order to improve understanding, expand appreciation, or help improve work. The major dictionary of Indonesian, Criticism is criticism or response, or the occasional commentary is accompanied by good descriptions and considerations of a work, opinion, etc.

Insulting

Wikipedia, Insult is one kind of majas. The purpose of sarcasm is meant to insinuate, or offend someone or something. Sarcasm can be an insult that expresses resentment and anger by using harsh words. The great dictionary of the Indonesian language, Dissenting is degrading; despise (contemptible, unimportant) discredit the good name of the person; offend people (such as cursing, slandering).

Opinion

"Criticism is not synonymous with insulting, but insulting behavior is evil because it contains evil intent to insult or intentionally make other people humiliated," said Mudzakir, a criminal law specialist at the faculty of law of the Islamic University of Indonesia. The use of freedom of expression should not violate the obligation to respect the dignity of others" he said.

IDN times clarify the two words as follows :

1. Criticism contains a correction sentence that gives the insert an improvement. While blasphemy tends to contain only insults and ridicule.

2. Blasphemy will contain negative sentences that ignore ethics in comments. Criticism remains concerned with the importance of karma in its opinion.

3. Criticism will focus on the lack of work, not on the person completing the job.

4. Critics will comment based on logical reasons. Blasphemers prefer to think because of dislike.

5. Inspiration is the main purpose of criticism. This will not be found in blasphemy.

Conclusion

In the end criticism is given for improvement. This means that when you see something wrong, we can comment to something that is not good to be corrected. If the comments provided do not inspire us to make improvements, it might be wise to keep quiet. Would not it be more silent than saying something that is not useful ?. That is my opinion reviews related to criticism and humiliation, may be useful
