Creativity Is a Habit

Subject: Creativity Is a Habit

In his article, Creativity Is a Habit, Robert J. Sternberg writes, "Oddly enough, then, the very "accountability" movement that is being promoted as fostering solid education is, in at least one crucial respect,  doing the opposite: It is discouraging creativity..." 

Robert J. Sternberg's article is interesting but never raises the question of why a government would encourage conformity as it's major objective in the education of it's young. 

The fact is that creativity threatens establishments.  The Empire Builders, currently holding forth as our government, do not want creativity among the rank and file population.  They want obedience. 

Of course, human nature being what it is, their very oppression will ultimately foster revolution, and their own downfall.
