Self-criticism is to examine and judge one's own behavior or action. This term originally originated in the political sphere and more precisely in that of Marxism. "To be self-critical," for a political man, a militant, or a group of militants, means to analyze and publicly acknowledge, with respect to the recognized political doctrine or the party line to which it belongs, its own mistakes or deviations. It is the result of rigorous personal and group reflection. It is an essential element of critical thinking. Although it can be abused, self-criticism is generally considered to be healthy and necessary to learn. It was a stretch of the practice of Chinese Maoism. Within the Christian faith, one speaks, at an individual level, of examination of conscience and confession of sin when the believer confronts the moral and spiritual metaphors of the Word of God. It is also how much an entire church is called to do when she looks closely at herself. It makes itself self-critical when, verifying itself in the light of the Word of God, recognizes its own mistakes and failures and makes it fine. The Bible states: "Examine yourself to see if you are in the faith; try it yourself. Do not you recognize that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless you are reproved "(2 Corinthians 13: 5).
