Quote: Given the importance of human creativity, one would think it should have a high priority among
our concerns. But if we look at the reality, we see a different picture. Basic scientific research is
minimized in favor of immediate practical applications. The arts are increasingly seen as dispensable luxuries. Yet as competition heats up around the globe, exactly the opposite trategy
is needed.

Assignment: Is creativity needed more than ever in the world today?

Essay:
It is my view that creativity is needed more than ever in the world today. Without creativity, human development would become stagnant. Creativity is what leads to mankind’s greatest and most fundamental discoveries.
Isaac Newton, for example, would never have learnt of gravity if it weren’t for his innovative and creative mind. Without human creativity, how else would one come to such an important realisation based on such a trivial occurrence as falling fruit?
Creativity is needed now for such discoveries to continue into the 21st century, where we are faced with an increasingly large number of struggles. One such struggle is one of depleted energy resources – fossil fuels, if used at the current rate, are projected to run out within the century. Thusly, these need to be conserved as effectively as possible, though methods such as the development of more efficient usage, or entirely new energy sources. Another problem this would help to overcome is global warming, which the overuse of fossil fuels also contributes to. Such developments need creativity applied to before they can be realised.
This is only one of many problems human creativity is needed for solving. Many other challenges present themselves to us, and only with novel solutions driven by human creativity can they be solved.
I myself also apply creativity to my everyday life – thinking of new ways to learn educational content, or to approach the various challenges I encounter as a high school student. I find creativity is something that is necessary for a child to fully develop into a mature member of society who can truly contribute to the world.
In conclusion, human creativity is essential for advancing society and developing the next generation of all-important leaders or innovators, and indeed is needed now more than ever to ensure humanity thrives the most that it can in the future.
