The importance of creativity

I believe, creativity does dissipate over time. Humanities and art are not embraced in the public school system the way they should be. He is right, their is an hierarchiy of arts. To prove this point, most community colleges only offer art and music appreciation. Universities are usually the only schools that offer theater and dance appreciation. This could be due because introduction classes must be taken by these specific majors.

The speaker has a good point. Kids today that are considered to have "A.D.D" or A.D.H.D. are not allowed to embrace their full creativity. The school systems seem to be press the issue that if a child has an attention problem it needs to be fixed or they will not be able to learn. It would be interesting to see how these children would be today.
