Creativity and innovation as a sense of nationalism

There seems to be an attempt in the United States and other first world nations to create a resurgence of innovation and creativity. This is interesting because for so long we have worked on the standardization of our educational system, putting everyone on the same page and keeping pace. Now we see that we are being defeated in the global market and we realize that our greatest strengths were our entrepreneurs, creativity and innovation. Since we all agree on that, we are looking for more now.

Today, creativity and innovation have been renamed almost a sense of nationalism in the United States. We also see that something similar happened in Canada as they worked very hard to create a society of knowledge workers, educate everyone and lead the world in scientific discoveries. Much of Europe also tried the same. As the 2012 Olympics show a sense of pride and nationalism for sport, agility and athleticism, we see how this can be such a strong bond.

When we compete as Americans for creativity and innovation in the market for ideas, we see that we have a stellar advantage because of our free market system. You see, the free market and capitalism rewards people with great ideas, who can solve problems and innovate and sell their inventions and methods in our economy. All we have to do is show them the way and let them compete in that very market of ideas. That makes sense, right?

It is almost as if creativity and innovation are an additional lever to rekindle a feeling of nationalism and pride. America has always been at the forefront of invention, problem solving, and positive attitude. It is practically the spirit of America and it still shines. Some might say that too much nationalist pride is not a good thing, but perhaps it is when it comes to a prominent topic of problem solving, innovation, and creating new products and services. Not to mention the fact that it will also provide more jobs, something our economy needs right now.

Education is also a good stage for elevating a nation to nationalist pride, and it doesn’t hurt to compete for the more educated society. Fortunately, the United States is pretty good at all these things, despite the detractors who might say that our society is not as educated as theirs, the reality is; “Sure you do, look everywhere, America is winning.”

Promoting creativity and innovation as a sense of nationalism, I think it’s a smart move for a great team – Team USA doesn’t hurt anyone anywhere else in the world that we do that. In fact, you could help them by setting the bar very high and challenging them to do the same.

Let’s make this the age of innovation for America!
