Creativity: Nature or Nurture?

 
Creativity is the process of bringing something new into being by reassembling information we already possess. The question is whether creativity comes from nature or nurture.
 
Everyone can learn to be creative to some degree, but new research has revealed that DNA is an important factor. While factors such as upbringing play a crucial role in brain development, the right genetic makeup makes the brain more inclined towards creative thinking.
 
What is interesting to note, studies say that individuals who suffered severe traumas in life may alter the brain structure, making one more creative. Whatever the case may be, creativity requires passion and commitment, and with a little bit of nurture, we can all become creative.
 
With lovingkindness,
