<p>I did this on the CB online course, and I already have a grade for it but I just want to know your opinions to see if the the grading is actually accurate (I personally thought it was waaayy to lenient). Also, I am very very open to critique no matter how minor it is. I’ll tell you my CB online course score in 24 hrs.

<p>Many people believe that closed doors make us creative. These people argue that obstacles and restrictions are necessary, for without them we would never be forced to come up with new solutions. But closed doors, either in the form of specific obstacles or a lack of opportunities, often prevent people from reaching their full creative potential.</p>
<p>Prompt: Do closed doors make us creative? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.</p>

<p>Some of the world’s most profound and revolutionary creativity have been the result of the closed doors. Closed doors present the human race with difficult situations to which we must at times discover creative solutions. </p>
<p>Many of the greatest advances in science can be attributed as the direct consequence of these so-called “closed doors”. For example, the lack of simplicity in the geocentric model of the solar system led to the development of the heliocentric model by Copernicus.The closed doors imposed by the geocentric model, resulted in the creation of a model which we still use 400 years after its initial discover.</p>
<p>Also, the success of many remarkable businessmen where the result of closed doors. In the 1930s, Rockefeller attained the American dream; successfully achieving the elusive goal of going from “rags to riches”. Rockefeller was born into a poverty-stricken family, and the closed doors imposed by his financial situation. Rockefeller successful developed a very creative (almost too creative), business model which was later called a form of ostensible monopoly. In a similar situation was the now-renown Henry Ford. The closed doors imposed by slow production led Ford to create one of the most important manufacturing breakthroughs: the assembly line. The assembly line is still used in the manufacturing process 80 years later, an astonishing accomplishment given the rapid advancement of manufacturing technology in the past century. </p>
<p>In addition, romantic poets such as William Blake used the closed doors of the miserable conditions in Victorian-age Britain in order to create poetry that whose meaning was so profound that it shaped the minds of the generations which followed. William Blake was the forerunner in the creation of the Noble Savage which is still used as the creation of romantic poetry today. </p>
<p>The closed doors imposed on Blake,Copernicus,Rockefeller, and Ford have truly created unfathomable wonders whose creativity so great that they are used as the basis of future development in their respective science. Those who triumph against the closed doors presented before them are truly worthy of being called pioneers.</p>
