DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CREATIVE AND CRITICAL THINKING
As we all know that the brain is the most delicate part of our body .Without the brain we would not be able to do so many things, example: receive impulses (receiving impulses means being able to access our environment like when you are being touched the reason why you know that you are touched is because of the brain).Also the brain unlike the pipeline in computing is the part of the body where messages are stored and given out. Therefore the brain is the part of the body that executes both the critical and the creative thinking. In the paragraphs below we are going to talk about creative and critical thinking, their examples and in occasions where they can be applied.
Creative thinking: Creating thinking as it has the word “creative” is in it. To create means to bring something new or bring out new ideas. Being creative is to be someone who always brings out new ideas and bring out something new. According to what we were taught to be creative is to be generative, to be creative is to be nonjudgmental, to be creative is to be expansive. When you are thinking creatively you are generating a new set of ideas. Examples of creative thinking:”the true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination, for while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create.”-Einstein Albert. “The chief enemy of creativity is’good’sense.”-Pablo Picasso.”I make more mistakes than anyone else I know, and sooner or later, I patent most of them.”-Thomas Edison. “If you do not expect the unexpected you will not find it, for it is not to be reached by search or trail.”-Heraclitus.”The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.”-Linus Pauling
