Troubleshooting Creativity
Reading my bible story always made me think about Adam and Eve creative idea. However, her flaw made her unsuccessful. I define her flaw as, according to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, as shallow, lacking depth of intellect or knowledge; concerned only with what is obvious, or weak-willed: lacking willpower, strength of will to carry out one’s decisions, wishes, or plans. Also easily swayed, disloyal: lacking loyalty or unfaithful, dishonest, traitorous, treasonable. (Merriam Webster dictionary 2018) In the bibles story of the first creation I grew up reading, the story of the serpent and his address to the woman, Eve why she should not listen to God’s rules. “The woman explains that God has forbidden the eating

Creative thinking is good when we follow the steps to come to conclusion. First thing I learned was trusting your sources. Critical thinking involves where you getting your information from. Attitude is a key component of successes. Having the right attitude to a situation can help in building up your creative idea. Eve’s attitude was that she wants to be better than God. Challenging assumptions is also important process of solving problems. Solving problems creatively require to challenging assumptions. Eve did not challenge the assumption that the serpent was trying to go against God rather than her. If the assumption does not come to consciousness and be challenged, it is discarded instead. It should have been examined and researched. Another one is to defer judgment. When Eve prematurely judged ideas, it blocked her from being successful. Judging too soon kills the creative spirit. She questioned God’s rules. The biggest problem for her failed creative idea was breaking the rules. Sometimes, breaking the rules seems important to solve problems. However, know when it is a good idea to break the rules and when it is not a good idea to break the rules is part of critical thinking. If your creative idea is to find a solution, to be an inventor, it is has to follow certain rules. For Eve and Adam, this was the main reasoned that their creative idea didn’t work. The broke God’s rules that he set up for them. The bible story
She then moves her focus onto Genesis 4:1-16, looking at the connection between Cain, Adam and Noah. The story of Adam contains Adam being formed out of the ground, and he will eventually end up back in the ground. The word “Adam” itself has roots that go back to the word “ground”, and Genesis links humanity to the ground by saying that humans essentially need to take care of the ground. This is shown in the case of Cain. Cain is a tiller of the ground, and Noah is a man of the ground, thus
Something I did not see earlier was Eve was deceived (she was never given the command from God not to eat of the tree, Adam was before she was created. See Gen. 2:16-17). Adam was openly disobedient and blatantly blamed God and Eve. “The man said, ‘The woman whom You gave to be with me (Blame!), she gave me from the tree, and I ate (Adam’s rationalization)’” (Gen 3:12, NASB).
Critical thinking is a high level of cognitive skills that helps us communicate and understand things effectively. In the You Tube video "Stossel Testing Therapeutic Touch," I found it was really interesting how the participants were given a placebo and yet most of them felt all these beneficial sleep changes. The power of the mind is amazing because if you believe it will work most likely you will feel that it did. My mother has all these crazy beliefs and I recall when I was bout 8 years old a bee stung me on my hand. I was crying and my mom told me if I wanted to get rid of the pain I had to get a pregnant woman to rub sugar on the wound.
The Israelites deserved to die because they were humans, sinful by nature; but God sent the ultimate sacrifice, which died on a
The ability to think is an innate action that, for the most part, all people possess. Nonetheless, not everybody has the ability or knowledge of how to develop this quality into something greater and beneficial. Critical thinking is not inherent; rather the skills necessary to think analytically must be learned and practiced with an open mind. It involves listening with the intent of understanding others, drawing conclusions based on strong evidence and asking curiously about the situation. Not only must one be willing to evaluate a situation slowly and thoroughly, but one must also respect the views of others and accept the possibility of being wrong.
Cosmology: We examine our solar system, with its center the sun and the planets revolving around it. This sun is a star in the neighborhood galaxy and, when we look further, we see other galaxies, each comprised of billions of stars, many of which have their own array of planets. We also see black holes. These black holes that so capture our imagination can be seen as openings of wormholes that lead to the Creator.
In the beginning of the quote is states: “Creativity is a god who comes only when he pleases, it isn’t very often.” Unlike Mrs. Windermere, I don’t believe that creativity is a god of any sort. But she is right where she says creativity “comes only when he pleases, it isn't very often”. No one is creative all the time and sometimes it is very hard to be creative. Everyone's mind blanks at one point or another.
People who disobeyed the bible were executed or forced to leave their village. To them God was everything and they lived to please
The Monkey Garden is a significant place in Esperanza’s life. It is here that Esperanza finds herself trapped between the two worlds of child and adult, unsure about whether to stay childish or grow up. To the reader, it looks like Esperanza on the fence of an important decision that will change her life forever. Ironically, Cisneros's language in “The Monkey Garden” is similar to the language used in the Genesis. This similarity can be seen when both works describe the loss of innocence and both contain a tempter and tempted.
“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” (Line 1). Eve was tricked
He tries to put the whole blame on Eve. Gen. 3:13. And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that you have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled (#5377 in Hebrew) me, and I did eat.- We will also at this point refer to the New testament; 2Corinthians 11:3. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled (#1818 in Greek) Eve through his subtlety, - At this point a word research might be helpful and answer what had taken place in the
1.Robinson argues that education systems and society are at fault for the low amount of creativity found in students. 2. Ken Robinson suggests there is a decrease in creativity as a result of an academic inability to nurture individualism as well as a societal pressure to become academically similar. Robinson effectively brings to mind the inadequacy of the education system by addressing its failure in equalizing the importance of all subjects and developing different types of intelligence. His line of reasoning mainly built upon a logical narrative that succeeds in persuading his audience.
In almost every work of literature, an underlying allusion exists to explain or enhance the story being told. For example, in The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald alludes to the Greek myth of Trimalchio to enrich the understanding of Jay Gatsby’s corruption. In The Scarlet Letter, several Biblical allusions serve to parallel certain occurrences in the story with parables, events, and verses of the Bible. In The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde purposefully employs allusions that predominates the novel. Unlike many works of literature, Wilde’s use of allusion serves not to explain specific instances in the novel but to characterize the story as a whole.
Weisberg (1993) refers to this discussion as ‘the mythology of the genius’. Many early approaches and research related to creativity focused primarily on the individual (Hardagon & Bechky, 2006). According to Bilton (2007), this myth
An idea is salvation by imagination. -- Frank Lloyd Wright INTRODUCTION Creativity is defined as seeing what everyone else has seen, and thinking what no one else has thought.
