Let's Define.

Salam and greetings,

The words in our first lesson.
Novelty
Creativity
Innovation
Invention

Let's just get the meanings of those words in the dictionary before i go any further.

Novelty: from the word novel; striking, original, unusual.
Creativity: whereby something new is created which has some kind of value.
Innovation: initiation, renew.
Invention: the creation of something in mind.
_________________________________________

So these four words are inter-related to each other.
It happens when a new way of doing something have been invented and has been accepted by the society, probably it has been rejected when it first proposed to the society.

Example, the modern medication. Last time people believe in shaman. They believe in the spirits and were very afraid to seek the modern practitioners. Eventually the society accept the modernisation.

Besides, these four words are very subjective. Different society, different interpretation. Therefore, some things are called creative or innovative in some areas but in other areas it is not.
_________________________________________

People have been taught all in their life just to make things easier and faster. Education has been applied to society until they probably having the same answer to solve a problem, it is like we have been programmed like robot or computer. It is a the tradition of doing something that has been familiar or routine to their culture.

For instance, kids could not drinks alcohol. However the adult could. It would not look so wrong if they did. It has been a negative thought if the minor does such thing. How about the major? Would not it effect them the same?

What i wanted to emphasise here is- 
"People believe what they want to believe". :)
