We as a society must learn to take criticism better. To accept the fact that perhaps we need to change within.

We might not need to change but, it shouldn't be a problem to take a look in the mirror from time to time. Criticism can point to starting points.

In general I feel that as we have become more disconnected from personal interactions due to our time being faceless warriors behind keyboards and monitors we have also lost the ability to accept criticism. And it gets worse with each following generation.

I feel the same and this is just the beginning.

As we remain isolated from those we criticize it is impossible to see the hurt we cause as we do not see their faces, their expressions, the pain in their eyes, etc.

Yep. We no longer have the responsibility of facing our opposition or gauging their reaction. it means we aren't good at reading people, nor approaching subjects.

As such, criticism is becoming more prevalent in society and our ability to handle it, to turn it into something positive or even to self reflect and discard it is diminishing each day.

Emotionally stunted.

Now I completely agree with the others who have said that political correctness has gone too far and we need to stop trying to make every snowflake out there feel safe and precious at all times.

Part of the problem is exposure to reality and, preparation for it. We protect from childhood, how can we expect them to learn?
