Education kills Creativity
People have the right to give their opinion about what education does to people, but my view point is different so I strongly disagree with that.
Creativity is a human quality. A person can be creative as well as educated. As long as the person draws the line between them, he or she will receive the benefits of combining both of them.
Let´s take a look at some undeniable advantages of having an education. First of all education is a tool that allows any person to achieve his or her goals , a door to opportunities that may lie ahead, which empowers a person with autonomy to develop his or her potential, improves living standards, increases their participation in society, provides knowledge of relevant and important <ideas?, events?, tools? methods? ... something is missing I think>
“Education is the most efficient weapon with which to address the world's most pressing problems today.” UNESCO's Education for All Global Monitoring Report Team.
According to the UNESCO report, "Education Transforms Lives."
I agree with those two statements because it is the way I see education. There is no shortcut to success, I mean real success, not only the financial kind but the kind that brings a personal feeling of accomplishment.
Creativity is something that each person can develop if he or she is motivated and what a great tool education could play in providing that motivation.
Today many big corporations are hunting for people with a great degree of creativity, for example software, online service, marketing and construction companies are eager to find those who can unleash their creativity to innovate their product or services. In fact many entrepreneurs invest large amounts of money in researching and trying to innovate at high speed their products by using the creativity that usually comes from educated people, so is education killing creativity?
I believe the way that education has been applied by schools, institutes and universities might be the real issue that is preventing or restraining but not killing the students’ ability to go beyond learning patterns which have been already established.
The only ones who can kill creativity are the students’ attitudes and perspectives. If they do not see themselves as a productive thinkers they will not achieve their inner potential.
I hope my corrections have done justice to what you are trying to say. Your English is pretty good, a lot better than my Spanish! I've used green background to mark places where I've made changes/suggestions. I hope you're enjoying learning English!
