How to use "Find fault" in context?
Criticism is one of the most important skills a person can have. It can help others better understand why you believe something is wrong and give them a better chance of doing things the way you want them to. When done politely and without personal attack, criticism can be an instrumental tool in improving the quality of life of everyone involved.
Criticism, however, can also be highly destructive. When we criticize someone without providing any constructive feedback, we often extend an accusatory finger. The person we're criticizing then becomes defensive, and any effort to improve the situation is undermined.
