People have a craving for creativity since time immemorial. Since a person is a social being, his creative activity is often conditioned by the influence of society, reflects public sentiments, or even is directly aimed at meeting the needs of society.

Step 1
Creativity is an activity in the process of which original material or spiritual values are created. Creative enthusiasm makes a person look for something new, unique. The result of such activity is also unique for each author, since he expresses his individuality and the uniqueness of his own personality.
Step 2
Creativity is essentially the opposite of activities within the framework of standards and stereotypes. Creative behavior leads to the creation of something qualitatively new, in contrast to adaptive behavior, when a person relies on the resources already at his disposal.
Step 3
The results of an individual's creativity may or may not be approved by society, depending on existing norms, and also represent some subjective value for society. Innovative creative activity develops both the very personality of the creator and enriches humanity by contributing to the cultural heritage.
Step 4
Creative activity stems from the need of people for self-realization and self-expression; the non-material principle often prevails in it. Therefore, it is capable of influencing the spiritual and moral development of society. However, this depends on the willingness of society to assess the talent of the individual and to perceive the results of his activities.
Step 5
Often, the creative potential of people manifests itself especially clearly in unstable and difficult periods for society. At the same time, broad strata of the population begin to show their creativity when the value of an individual in society and his freedom increase. Someone's creativity is stimulated by comfort, while others are stimulated by obstacles.
Step 6
Creative activity can be carried out in the field of artistic, musical, production and technical, scientific, inventive, everyday life, religious, political and others. During the Renaissance, for example, artistic creativity received great recognition, and close attention was paid to the personality of the artist, as the bearer of the creative principle. Many philosophers have expressed the opinion that the desire for creativity is natural for a person and is inherent in him from the very beginning. However, in certain periods of history, this beginning and initiative in a person is suppressed, since the manifestation of the freedom of the individual and his influence on society is not beneficial to the state.
Step 7
In a sense, we can say that the entire artificial environment surrounding a person is a product of creative activity. Without it, there would be no change in any area. Discoveries, inventions, artistic and musical creativity transform both the material environment around a person and the atmosphere in society, the norms of morality and behavior in it.
