Introduction People often associate creativity with words such as new, unusual ideas out of the ordinary imagination, unique, exciting, whacky, open, fuzzy or something radically different. Creativity is a very precious and unique quality in an individual that enables him to solve complicated problems in different walks of life. Problem solving develops open mindedness and open minds communicate better than closed minds. The task of problem solving requires prediction, analysis of facts and principles to develop cause-effect relationship in physical phenomena of the environment. Generally, our daily life activities are followed in routine and we do not face any problem to perform our routine duties. But it is not always so; sometimes we are confronted with a problem situation where we have to think and find out solution to reach the goal. Problem situation occurs when there is an obstacle to reach the goal. The obstacle may be physical, social or economic which may hinder the progress of the individual towards the goal Copyright © 2023, Scholarly Research Journal for Humanity Science & English Language
