Define Creativity
Week 1
How do people define creativity? In my opinion creativity is very subjective and varies from one another opinion. We as a human being can be see creative in different ways and it can apply in every day aspects of our lives. We spend entire day doing creative thing that we may not aware of. But actually it is one of the things that involve in our life.
From the dictionary I found that Creativity (or creativeness) is a mental process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations between existing ideas or concepts. From a scientific point of view, the products of creative thought (sometimes referred to as divergent thought) are usually considered to have both originality and appropriateness. An alternative, more everyday conception of creativity is that it is simply the act of making something new.
Creativity has been attributed variously to divine intervention, cognitive processes, the social environment, personality traits, and chance. It has been associated with genius, mental illness and humor. Some say it is a trait we are born with; others say it can be taught with the application of simple techniques. Although popularly associated with art and literature, it is also an essential part of innovation and invention and is important in professions such as business, economics, architecture, industrial design, and science and engineering.
Despite, or perhaps because of, the ambiguity and multi-dimensional nature of creativity, we have been taught from the pursuit of creative ideas and the development of creativity techniques. This mysterious phenomenon, though undeniably important and constantly visible, seems to lie tantalizingly beyond the grasp of scientific investigation.
This is one of the reference website I have gotten the idea from. Its really cool.
