2. The collective unconscious is a term most commonly associated with the work of Carl Jung, a student of Freud's. Jung posited the existence of a grand database of human thought to which all persons have access. The idea that there is "nothing new under the sun" reflects the widespread belief in a collective unconscious. Common dreams, shared imagery, and similarity among world religions are extensions of the collective unconscious. The collective unconscious also serves as a wellspring of images, thoughts, sounds, and ideas that artists, musicians, and creative thinkers draw from during the creative process.
3. Archetypes are in fact part of the collective unconscious. Universal symbols or proto-ideas like "mother" or "father" are archetypal. Archetypes are what Plato referred to as the Forms. Jung deepened the theory of archetypes by illustrating how cultures around the world and throughout time exhibit the same core elements in their literatures and sacred texts including the classic male hero. Archetypes help ground the creative process...
Artists and thinkers may also draw upon archetypes for inspiration during their process.
4. The modular theory of mind is an evolutionary psychological term referring to the increased specialization of the brain's cognitive processes. The theory suggests that the brain adapts to environmental conditions, developing more honed tools with which to survive and thrive. Applied to the creative process, the modular theory of mind suggests that neurological and cognitive tools are part of the evolutionary process. Artists and other creative individuals will draw upon the brain's tools, causing each generation to be essentially more creative than the next.

creative thinking are important tools that can help a person in both their professional and their personal lives. As Pascal said, "We are but thinking reeds, but because we know, we are superior to the universe. Thought constitutes our greatness" (as cited in Kirby, Goodpaster & Levine, 1999, p. xix). This paper will discuss some of the facets of this important topic. As there have been several definitions of the
Other neuroscientists instead stress processes: like macros for the brain. Neuroscience, in elucidating specific brain structures for different thought processes and types of intelligence, can help scientists develop more sophisticated systems of artificial intelligence. Similarly, neuroscientists can possibly promote the development of pharmaceutical or natural interventions that aid cognitive processes like mathematical or musical ability. If neuroscientists can discover ways to increase conscious awareness of the structures of the brain
The final stage is revision, in which the options are evaluated and the most promising is chosen. To believe that an idea is something totally new, one would have to skip the first two stages of Wallas' theory on the creative process. In this case, the idea would have to evolve from intution or an inner way of knowing. However, theories such as those by Wallas are more credible than
Creative Problem Solving & Learning Elements of Creativity Application of Creative Problem Solving in Real-World Situations Creative Problem Solving as a Tool to Improve Learning Since problems happen every day and often in new forms and faces, creative problem solving is of primary importance (Trilling & Fadel, 2009). Convergent and divergent thinking are used in creative problem solving solutions. Structure, casual reasoning and systems knowledge are also involved in the creative problem solving (Jonassen,

Conflict, Decision Making Conflicts happen in all places, and workplace is no exemption. A workplace has a diverse workforce with different backgrounds. Their ambitions and goals differ and easily results in conflicts. Nonetheless, workplace conflict does not necessarily result in negative impact, when well resolved it could indeed result in positive outcomes. As noted by Hellriegel, et al. (2001) by resolving conflict effectively, an organization can solve numerous issues that surfaces,
