Week 13 # 1

I first like to start off by saying I have a real creative mind. Creativity is going beyond the current boundaries of technology, knowledge, social norms or beliefs or seeing and acting on new relationships, thereby bringing them to life” (Anderson, 1992, p.42). Going off that we have all experience a time for which we thought of a idea that was different and outside our norms, however, not only was the idea different the group wanted to at least experience it just to see if the idea would work. For example, I had an experience when creativity became the thought on peoples mine. While chilling with my group of friends we were trying to find something to do on a Saturday night. However, we did not want to go to the club or party because we had been doing such for the past weekends. Besides that we did want to go out and do something. As I sat there I came up with an idea that we get a group of people in go cosmic bowling. Yet, although the group pondered and sort of disagreed, they soon began to agree with the idea because they all had a female they wanted to hang out with. Nevertheless, even though they disagreed on the idea at first they then envisioned the idea and realized that it was a well enough plan to do. Therefore, creativity I feel is a spark or a envision that one sees as a idea that one may had in his head to share with the other members to get approval. We tend to get caught so much in a similar routine due to our group norms that when new ideas do tend to come out we tend to negatively respond before even thinking and trying it out first. In this situation I feel that as being a member of the group norm that my idea was considered and recognized thus making my idea good in this situation.
