carry it forward: creativity crisis

I wouldn't say I'm a naturally creative person, but I do think of unique ideas and try to think outside the box. Learning the information about how the American society is losing creativity somewhat shocked me because I always thought of our country as creating new things that no one has seen before, and being somewhat of an innovator for the rest of the world. Another thing I took out of it is that you can't teach creativity, but only help kids and students tap in to their creative side and enrich them in that experience. This information will challenge me to think deeper about things in my everyday life, and also think about the future for myself and my children to hope that they will learn to do the same.
