Really helpful clarification. Thanks.

further information about context I am sorry, I did not give the correct context for this term. It does occur in a context of a discussion of cigarette brand slogans, but actually refers to the self-image promoted (or experienced) by young people smoking particular brands. What I don't understand is how "kritis" (as in "critical thinking" or "a critical situation" or "critically" ill etc.) can be construed as describing a positive self image. Here is the full context:-

“Persepsi terhadap perilaku merokok sesuai dengan pencitraan iklan rokok, karena slogan-slogan iklan rokok memperlihatkan citra yang dibangun untuk menarik perhatian dan untuk menumbuhkan gaya hidup. Citra-citra tersebut meliputi Percaya Diri, Keren, Setia Kawan, Kreatif, Pemberani, Suka Menolong, Gaul, Berjiwa Petualang, Pria Sejati, Kritis, dan Gagah.

I suppose the word is used in an advertisement. Thus, there should be some words preceding and/or following it.

It is a one-word slogan It is a one-word slogan -- and so it does not occur in sentences.

You had better provide us with the sample sentences.
