What is creativity? Creativity is the use of our imagination or original ideas. When people think of creativity they think of ways people can show or express themselves through it. Creativity is all around us in our daily life, we just have to look more closely to find out how it's creativity. The clothes you're wearing is made out of someone's creativity and so are the movies we watch today. But how do we in our lives define creativity?
For example, take the creativity to make an original movie series or tv show. It started with one idea that sparked between a group of people. That idea grew and grew as other people and their creative minds and ideas came on board and expanded it. Finally, it would become the creative product started from the tiny idea in someone's head. The problem with this is now some movies are just copies of previous ones. But most are original ideas with original concepts all thanks to the creativity of the people putting the movie together. We ourselves don't use our creativity to it's potential, but we don't waste it either. Everyone has some unique and creative idea in their head, it may seem crazy, but that idea could be a life changer.
How could we describe creativity in our daily life and lifestyles? We do see it all around us. For example, our own house. When you buy a house, you have the creativity to arrange and decorate it however you want. It's your creativity of how you want to present our house to others. We see it in simple everyday objects like utensils and plates to blankets and pillow cases. These designs and inventions were someones creation and original idea.
But where does creativity go wrong? Some people use their creativity and that power for bad. People can use creativity and their original ideas for wrong things such as offensive art and offensive media. Everyday we see creativity and someones original ideas wasted or even stolen. For example, using our creativity to make profound art and offensive content. Yes, people have the right to express themselves however they want, but our creativity should not be wasted that way. Our mind is one of the most important parts of us and what it brings is huge and that includes our creativity and concept to make up original ideas to share with others or keep to ourselves. We should not take this power for granted, but use it to our advantage.
Creativity is a huge concept to grasp, but we use it everyday in life. We see it everywhere, in media, in art, in our very own homes. We even use creativity without even knowing it for example finding more creative ways to do chores or a creative new way to play a sport. Although most of us use creativity with caution, we should be careful with how we use it and make sure not to overuse our power of creativity to hurt others or create terrible ideas.
