Anderson draws from her own experience, and discusses how children aren’t granted enough options to explore their creativity, and don’t do well in some areas of school simply because their talents and interests don’t lie in those areas. Learning isn’t about learning anymore, it’s about passing the class. Anderson claims “students learn to rely on marks and seek approval from teachers to know if what they have produced is acceptable.” Evaluating students limits their creativity and…

In conclusion, Carr articles touches on a topic that is very important, since the introduction of the internet has brought about a rapid changes in how the society go about accomplishing tasks. However, I do not think that google makes people stupid, since being unable to read long texts can be as a result of the different ways people employ while reading, it’s certainly not the end of creativity but it has only ushered a new error of obtaining information where people must adapt and recognize but not dwell on old ways of obtaining information and…

Carr suggests that due to all the choices and distractions the internet provides its user whilst searching for information, it ‘turns us back to our native state of distractedness’(Carr 2010, p. w1). Carr feels that due to the constant quick thinking skills that the internet demands us to have; we are loosing our higher order cognitive abilities gained from focused reading such as from a book. Our ability to think in a creative and reflective way is diminishing. Carr feels the automatic way of thinking means we are ‘loosing our mental discipline’ (Carr 2010, p. w1).…

One of the authors that talk about this is S.I Hayakawa. His main point in his article is how he stressed to tell us to be more creative, and that we shouldn’t blindly follow what media outlets like the ones on TV because we’re becoming like sheep. He argues that one with creativity best be prepared to endure loneliness and ridicule. He says, and this is very correct, that because of what we see on things like the media, we’re just told to follow what they say is right, and because of that, if one person dares to exclaim otherwise, then he or he will be getting cast away from other people. It’s ok to have a different opinion of things, and he encourages it, because creative people are going to be the most successful in life.…
The technology that surrounds us is changing the way we think. Humans have been influenced by our technology since the dawn of civilization. Now, it is the Information age that has created a new kind of human intelligence, a change in our thinking worthy of great enthusiasm and intense scrutiny. It seems like the majority of people believe the Internet and new media has diminished our memory, our creativity, and our intelligence. There is even research into the neurological effects of using Google. But every new innovation, from the written word to the telegraph, has triggered the very same fears. We fear that life will never be the same, that our culture is fading, and our intelligence eroding. But just as we did in the past, we have adapted. We are learning to use our new technology in unpredictable ways. It is through the use of modern technology that we now learn more and retain it longer, and we write and think…
Janet thinks that student parking is a problem on campus. There are not enough spaces to accommodate the increasing numbers of students, and many have search for more than 20 minutes before finding a space. Use the problem-solving steps to come up with the best solution.…
I felt expelled and exiled, sitting in a room filled only with a bed. White walls which painted no imagination, no hope just emptiness; yet they still assured me I was meant to be here. Every day was the same as the last, every memory I captured had slowly escaped. I was considered dangerous, vile and out of control; these words constantly surrounded me, swirling around in the echoes of the halls. 15 years I have been here, and still not once has my voice box being strained. Everyday new comers are filling the halls with recent experiences, these are the only colour these halls ever hold, the only colour we are ever able to grasp and use to paint our own ideas of community; they enable us oldies to once again imagine. Soon enough the halls go back to plain white and emotionless passages and so to do my imaginations, the images that i had held slowly fade over and over again until i am left with nothing. This only reminded me of what was familiar.…

On the 30th of December, 2016, I watched the TED talk of Ken Robinson, british author and public speaker. He explains his view on the role of creativity in children, providing his opinion that creativity is just as important in education as literacy, and that you grow out of creativity, not into it. Specifically he claimed that education eradicates creativity. As he said, “I believe this passionately, that we don’t grow out into creativity, we grow out of it. Or rather, we get educated out of it.” Although some people believe that education is crucial in society, Robinson insisted that creativity must be preserved to serve humanity. Robinson stated that the educational system is mining the wrong aspects of children’s abilities to support his…
