Greetings & Creativity – Response

I feel that I’m able to be creative pretty often especially when I’m doodling in class or daydreaming. But then again it’s creativity that only I see most of the time and something I don’t really show to anyone else. Another opportunity I get to be creative is when professors assign papers or projects because it still requires me to use my creativity to imagine and think about what my paper/project will look like or to have an idea for it so I have something to start on.
One thing I noticed about “Education and the Changing World of Work” video is that the speaker keeps talking about how important the “left-brain world” was and how much more the “right brain” matters now and how it is more important that the left. I somewhat disagree on this, I think both brains are equally as important and that there should be no time frame in which one part of the brain is more important than the other; they are part of the same important organ. Daniel Pink says that the right brain abilities now matter more. Sure the right brain lets people think of new an creative ideas that no one has ever though of. To make that idea work one must use the left brain’s logic, analytical skills and facts to make sure it’ll work. For example car concepts, people who designs cars first use there right brain to form concept with their creativity but in the end it’s the left brain that makes sure if this concept will work and will not cause any injuries.
Pink also talks about education, though I don’t really pay attention to education policies. I feel that the education system should give children more opportunities to use their creativity and not stress children out with so many facts. From what I remember only in Pre-K up to 2nd grade I had a lot of opportunities to use my creativity. After it was all math, English and history and exams on these topics, not much creativity use for the three.
Lastly, “living with ambiguity” is something I can endure because I believe in life there is a lot of ambiguity. This does not necessary mean I like it. I feel that it is okay to not know something from time to time. An example of ambiguity that I’m okay with is cliffhangers they always make me want to know more and it bothers me the author just leaves the readers off like that. Even so I feel that with this ambiguity it fuels our creativity and lets us create our own ideas from that situation. I do not find it exciting to be confused because I don’t understand how am I suppose to be excited about something I don’t understand?
