Rebekah R. - Creativity is Essential
Creativity is something that all children love to have and to express in amazing ways. Creativity is something that gives an extra pizzazz to the project at hand. Creativity, like uniqueness, makes people different and special. Even though practical ways are needed in today’s fast-paced world, the sparks of creativity must not be put out because they may be lost forever. Creativity must exist today.
First, some of the best creative minds in today’s world are those of children. Take Anne from Anne of Green Gables, for example. This young lady is a very spontaneous girl that audaciously does many creative activities. She loves poetry, books, and drama, and she once expressed this artistic creativity by beautifully reciting “The Highwayman” for a crowd of people at a special event. In addition to this formal occasion, Anne also reenacts plays with her friends, such as the time when she pretends to be a dead girl that floats away on a boat in the water. Like the chances that creativity sometimes brings, Anne takes a creative chance when she risks her life while floating on that river. However, creative faith is sometimes needed to bring about good things; in this case, Anne learned that she likes the boy that saves her after she falls into the river. Anne’s creativity makes her a better person with a better character and more pleasant to be around. She definitely brings a lot of happiness to the Cuthbert home and to the community that she lives in. The creativity of children must be put into practice by everybody in today’s world so that the world does not become a boring place, but a friendlier one.
Second, creativity belies technological advancements. It is by creativity that all inventions came to be, therefore, it will be by creativity that the inventions of the future will also be made. True, the world of today is in a big hurry as it uses instant messenger to talk to people thousands of miles away instantly and air planes to take many passengers over thousands of miles in a couple of hours. However, none of these would ever have existed if it was not for creativity. This only makes creativity even more essential in today’s world because without it, the world would seem to spin slower. The more creativity that is used, the more that advances in technology will be made, and the better will an organization be looked at. For example, the Cold War brought much competition between the United States of America and Russia, and creativity in technology was one of the competitive areas. The Russian scientists used their creative minds to launch the first rocket into space, therefore they were ahead in that combative battle because of their unique actions. Knowledge and creativity are what bring success. Creativity is like water to plants, it must remain a part of the world so that the world can continue to grow.
Creativity is an essential part of today’s practical world and needed more than ever. Creativity is what keeps artistic uniqueness in the world. Creativity is what pushes the bar higher and higher to new levels of technology. So, keep the creativity of the children to keep the technology advancing. It is essential that all people are encouraged to continue to be creative, so let the creativity begin!
