Young People Are Losing the Ability of Creative Thinking
The third solution is mind mapping. Ming mapping is an effective graphical thinking tool for the expression of emissive thinking. It is simple yet extremely effective and is a revolutionary thinking tool. It is a good way to present a large amount of interrelated information in a fairly compact form. It starts with a word in the center, and connected ideas radiating out via branches. As Creative Thinking puts it “Mind mapping uses some words connected with arrows or lines.” (Creative thinking, 2016, P.2) The author’s point is that mind mapping is to use some arrows, lines and words to connect. After most people complete a mind map, they tend to be surprised at how much they can harvest so diverse and rich ideas.
Engaging your right brain is a good way to help you think creatively. Because the right brain controls these abilities, brainstorming is the often-maligned practice of getting a group of people together and generating ideas.

Creative thinking refers to divergent thinking. This way of thinking can make people encounter problems from multiple angles, multi-lateral, multi-level and multi-structure to think and find the answer. It is neither subject to the limitations of existing knowledge nor the traditional method of shackles. The thinking route is open and diffusing. It is not a single solution to the problem, but in a variety of programs, a variety of ways to explore and choose. The purpose of this thinking is not to look for old knowledge. Nor is it to go through the old path of others. It's to focus attention to discover new things, new laws, new theories and new ideas, to promote people to higher, newer, more complex and broad direction to open up. So young people need to make an effort to change their habits with information technology and social media in order to develop the skills to think creatively.
