1. Value of Creativity in a Global
Society

2. In a global society, we are different and
unique. That alone shows that we are
create to be creative. The value of
creativity in a diverse society allow
individuals to demonstrate and utilize the
artistic ways to convey a message of
something or someone.

3. In the idea of a Creative Society, creativity and
creative attitudes are embraced and championed as
central driving forces of a socially responsible
performance. Creativity is not only an issue for a
specific Creative Class, but it belongs to everyone in
the whole society. The goal of the creative society is
to ensure living standards in an era of heightened
global competition. Furthermore, a balance should
be sought between economic growth and the
everyday welfare of people.

5. “The roots of a creative society are in basic education. The
sheer volume of facts to be digested by the students of
today leaves little time for a deeper interrogation of their
moral worth. The result has been a generation of
technicians rather than visionaries, each one taking a
career rather than an idea seriously. The answer must be
reform in our educational methods so that students are
encouraged to ask about “know-why” as well as “know-
how”. Once the arts are restored to a more central role in
educational institutions, there could be a tremendous
unleashing of creative energy in other disciplines too.”
