How would an average Libyan take criticism, would they :
1-Accept the criticism and try to answer to it.
2-Get angry and stop all communication.

"What is criticism?" the Libyan would ask with a big grin on his face!

Let´s face it: there is no people on this planet that fits the phrase "don´t worry, be happy" as a Libyan!!!!

Hi friend, how are you? Nice idea having a blog dealing with surveys,,,, clever I think

Here are your questions:-
How would an average Libyan take criticism, would they :
1-Accept the criticism and try to answer to it.
2-Get angry and stop all communication.
3-Get physical.
4-Sue in court.

The 1st: I think they accept criticism if it came from someone they respect, or admire, or love., or fear.
The middle 2 possibilities are more likely, generally speaking.
The 4th, sue in court, I really don’t know

Personally, I think criticism is very beneficial. If it is constructive then it should help me achieve what I want with better results.
If it is destructive, then it should teach me how to ignore it, and not be affected by it. It should actually help me revise what I am sure of, and it may increase my confidence on what I am doing, that it will make me feel I am going in the right direction.

I like to give you an example. If my good friend says to me: stop smoking, it is bad for health. I listen to him, and maybe remember what he said for a few days.

If my bad friend said to me stop smoking, I will tell him it is none of his business.

I think it is complicated. We, as humans, we talk like we know every thing, and we have the solution to every problem. But in reality, and in my opinion, sometimes we are more stupid than monkeys.
