So, Steve Jobs has no doubt impacted society in many ways. What about Apple's "Think Different" ad campaign, which promotes creativity, innovation, and that the "crazy ones" who succeed and break down barriers? Masters in creativity and thinking outside the box ultimately are the forces behind innovation and progress, but it seems that this is really only a façade, a mirage, and emulation of our society. Just look at our educational system and teaching methods. Do they really reflect the importance of creativity? Do they hold thinking abstractly, not logically in high regard? Why doesn't our educational embrace this perspective of thinking, and how will this affect innovation in the long term?

In my opinion, and based on my years in the educational system (I currently hold a bachelor's degree in urban planning), creativity is not valued. I say this because our educational system is based on conformity and acceptance of everything that is in textbooks and theories. There are few courses that really push out thinking beyond what is "already accepted" or known to be true.
In fact, when teachers were asked to describe the characteristics and qualities of their favorite students, the results of the study showed personality traits correlated negatively with the traits that creative students had, like being individualistic, less outgoing, more impulsive, and outspoken and emotionally charged. Teachers instead reported that they preferred conformity and basically students who did not question authority. In reality, when teachers say they want students to develop their own consciousness and have their own voice, indirectly, they do not prefer it. This shows that creative students are not celebrated in our educational system, which cannot be fully efficient with students who go against the status quo. The idea of creativity is always encouraged, but as far as its actual manifestations, proves to be more disruptive than accepted.
