President Obama's Committee For The Arts And Humanities Pushes For Arts And Creativity
He's promoting this philosophy: To remain competitive in the global economy, America needs to reinvigorate the kind of creativity and innovation that has made this country great. To do so, we must nourish our children's creative skills. In addition to giving our children the science and math skills they need to compete in the new global context, we should also encourage the ability to think creatively that comes from a meaningful arts education. This objective of President Barack Obama is a positive move in the world of the arts and innovative thinking.

Creativity : Cultural Creatives

Cultural Creatives: A Growing Subculture Changing the World

According to Wikipedia, "Cultural Creatives is a term coined by sociologist Paul H. Ray and psychologist Sherry Ruth Anderson to describe a large segment in Western society that has recently developed beyond the standard paradigm of Modernists versus Traditionalists or Conservatists. The concept was presented in 2000 in their book The Cultural Creatives. How 50 Million People Are Changing the World (Harmony Books, NY), where they claim to have found that 50 million adult Americans can now be identified as belonging to this group."

Learn more about this growing subculture changing the world and see if you may fit into it by exploring the following of Cultural Creative resources.
