Answer 1

The world started progressing and became more creative when it redeemed itself from the clutches of the Church in the name of God and morality. With the dawn of enlightenment, all the creative expressions got revived and arts and literature flourished as never before. They were written in common man’s language. Today with the freedom of speech and press human creativity has progressed tremendously ending up with lots of innovative products and ideas that shaped the present society where we live. The amount of creative work or expression depends on the type of culture where one lives in because certain expressions and works would be prohibited in the collective culture which would be allowed in the materialistic culture. The importance of free will, individual rights and materialistic culture has spearheaded creativity and innovation in the individualistic and materialistic cultures but certain things are restricted in collective cultures. Human creativity is one of the most important characteristics that distinguishes us from all the other species on earth and beyond. The creative expression is one of the most valuable things that makes people unique and noteworthy.
