Conclusion

Critical and creative thinking involve thinking broadly and deeply using skills, behaviours,
and dispositions such as reason, logic, resourcefulness, imagination, and innovation in all
learning areas of life. It allows you to view and solve problems more openly and with

innovation. A society that has lost touch with its creative side is an imprisoned society, in
that generations of people may be closed-minded. Creativity and critical thinking broaden
our perspectives and can help us overcome prejudices. It inspires collective thinking and

nurtures ideas.
