We are arranged in such a way that we want or not, but we express them in the case and not. It is very difficult for people to come to terms with injustice. One misfortune: justice is something that always escapes and is deeply subjective. And we say today, if anyone does not understand, about reproaches. What is this noun and what are its synonyms, we will consider immediately.
Value
How much practical experience does each person have in making claims? Probably a lot, but even if this experience is tripled, it still will not help to formulate theoretically that there is a rebuke. But we don’t need to strain like that, because we have an explanatory dictionary. He will do this hard work for us. The following meaning of the word “reproach” is written in a wonderful book: “Expression of displeasure, disapproval, accusation.”
As you can see, the dictionary has left to the mercy the question of the fairness of claims to people, and rightly so. His business is to fix the most general definition of a word, and let consumers and recipients even understand their difficult relationships. The main thing here is to understand what reproaches are, and the question of their quality is a separate issue.
Synonyms
Usually people are interested in the meaning of a particular word, and then they are curious about semantic analogues, that is, words with the same underlying content. Our today’s case is no exception. We have compiled a list of possible synonyms for the word "reproach":
- comment;
- the charge;
- attacks;
- nitpicking.
As you can see, if you do not include words with the same root in the list, the list will be poor. And it is striking that all synonyms often point to the injustice of the reproach, and this is not our opinion, but an analysis of those language units that can replace the object of study. Only a comment can be both fair and not. And the rest of the words fit to call a lawyer, because they all bear the seal of negative meaning. It is good that words are not people, and they do not need to make excuses.
Fair and unfair reproaches in education
Meaningful substitutions, of course, help to understand what reproaches are, but one more question needs to be clarified: how productive are they as an educational tool? Of course, parents often criticize their children almost reflexively and express their displeasure directly, bluntly. Such treatment hurts the child, but education in principle is a method of violence against nature. To educate is to limit. But barriers, categories of good and evil, may look like an iron cage on the part of the child, or they may be for him an upholstered iron chair, in which, at least, it is pleasant to sit.
All this is directly related to the subject of our conversation. Because the child comprehends the world through the prohibitions and permissions that his parents lower him. So, if you really need to reproach the child with something, then you need to do this, on the one hand, gently, and on the other, clearly explaining why he is doing wrong. And yes, by the way, any punishment should also not be prescriptive - “without talking”, but understood and accepted. Although resentment in this case still can not be avoided. But this way of talking will not leave the child with a sediment of injustice.
After we examined the question of what reproaches are, it must be said: this is not the best form of communication with people. If you make a comment or throw someone an accusation, then it must be reasoned so that, on the one hand, the attacker does not look stupid, and on the other, the defender understands that he is being charged. But until people have overcome their emotional nature, unjust reproaches will exist, whatever point of view you take.
