Is Creativity On The Decline?

Immgination and creativity has alway been an asset,  which allows an individual to think outside of the box, that brings fourth complex ideas, but in these current times  is creativity on the decline ? Many can say the economical crisis is  to blame and contributing factor, because all across the country, art programs are being cut left and right, which now spells a problem for the youth. I have always been a firm believer that creativity should be taken out of the art room and put into homeroom?  Creativity has always been prized in American society, but it’s never really been understood.

Creativity isn’t about freedom from concrete facts,Creativity requires constant shifting, blender pulses of both divergent thinking
and convergent thinking, to combine new information with old and forgotten
ideas.

Highly creative people are very good at marshaling their brains into
bilateral mode, and the more creative they are, the more they dual-activate
While our creativity scores decline unchecked, the current
national strategy for creativity consists of little more than praying. The problems we face now, is simply for the hope of a artisitc future, which will irriadicate many problems we have today. I believe strongly, we owe it to ourselves and our community,  to invision a future where countries around the globe can swap ideas, which will bring them closer together through the creative  and visual arts. This will intell the everyday struggle and happiness we all share, bringing us closer together in  a world where people wont be afraid to express themsleve, and feel comfortable being themsleves, because you know, otherwise feel the same way you do.

Its been said, children who spend more time in role-play acting out
character shave higher measures of creativity: voicing someone else’s point of
view helps develop their ability to analyze situations from different
perspectives. When playing alone, highly creative children may act out
strong negative emotions: they’ll be angry, hostile, anguished. The hypothesis
is that play is a safe harbor to work through forbidden thoughts and
emotions. It’s also true that highly creative adults frequently grew up with hardship.
Hardship by itself doesn’t lead to creativity, but it does force kids to become
more flexible—and flexibility helps with creativity. Is technology currently to blame for this? We can point fingers and say whatever we want to say, but the youth need a place to vamp, so they can release tension and emotion they have bottled up, which allows them develop solutions to figure out world problems... We need more art programs for children, otherwise the future will be dim and dark when it comes to artistic expression.
