My Confirmation

Though 'creativity' has diverse opinions upon its possibility to develop, it is quite easy to discover examples that will support my arguments. If a person can be taught how to think creatively, everyone can become like Einstein and Shakespeare. Almost every one will accept that it can't be. Then I'll give you some examples to help your understanding on this. Most of you have once learned playing the piano, usually by your parents' purpose to bring up your creativity. However, you all become pianists? Also, if you know how to deal with lumber and tools, can you make magnificent chairs that are greatly appreciated by others? No, actually you can't. In addition, from creative writing professor Hanif Kureishi, some students don't know how to write a story, even though they took creative writing class altogether. Then he said that such kind of lecture is "a waste of time". This is because they are not natural writers.

Most are not very aware the concept of creativity, but it is important when you understand this arguments. Creativity is not a discipline, but a kind of personal characteristic. Also, It is not a conventional 'skill' like playing the piano and making furniture, as I already said above, that you can pay to have taught to you. Instead, you have to know that we all possess creativity but its degree is different. These difference make gap between normal people and famous artists. People should recognize that they have contradictory attitude toward 'teaching creative' that they try to make their children become more creative and accept its impossibility at once. As everyone has their own amount of creative ability, we don't know who have outstanding ability. However, those examples and expert opinion are showing that teaching creativity is impossible.
