Atwood Main Argument

Question: 1) What is Atwood's main argument? Do you agree or disagree?2) How do you define creativity? What role does creativity play in your life?3) Have things changed since the Liberals have taken leadership? Is so, how and why? Answer: 1. Atwood main argument is toward the policy of the Canadian government of not supporting the writers with grants and other facilities so that they can grow with time. According to him, people write because they want to write and not for becoming a millionaire. Writing is a passion and the government should support the job of writing with better facilities provided to the writers. Yes, I agree with Atwood argument and support that Mr. Harper, the Prime Minister of Canada, should identify and appreciate the ordinary people for their creative knowledge. He should motivate the young and ordinary writers to be more creative and enrich their knowledge further through grants provided by him (theglobeandmail.com 2016). 2. Creativity can be defined as an act of turning imaginative and new ideas into reality. It is an ability to imagine the things in new ways, to make connection between seemingly unrelated phenomena, to find hidden patterns and to generate solutions. Creativity involves two processes, first a person think and then produce. If a person has ideas but cannot produce those ideas in real form, then the person is not creative. Creativity plays a vital role in my life. I believe in creating new ideas and then using the ideas in practical form to developing the work in a better way. Creativity can be linked to any object or phenomena and then creating something unique from that object or phenomena (theglobeandmail.com 2016) 3. The things have changed since liberals have been taken away by leadership in Canada. The artist was no longer motivated and the funds provided for artist were shut down. In Canada there has been increasing number of artist and around 600000 jobs were there from them. Mr Harper wanted to jeopardize these jobs and does not want to support the ordinary people for creative art (Lambert 2012). References Lambert, N. (2012). Domes and creativity: a historical exploration. Digital Creativity, 23(1), pp.5-29. The Globe and Mail. (2008). To be creative is, in fact, Canadian.
