There is an ongoing debate whether young people are more creative than older poeple. Some people might insist that older people can develop new ideas based on their plentiful expreriences. However, on the contrary, I strongly believe that young people are more inventive in business.
Firstly, the rational reason behind is that young people are more accessible to new information from various sources such as Internet surfing, on-line messenger. They can collect numerous of data and analyze them in short time. For example, a young person can down loads the lates news concerning world economic recession in real time, while an old man, as usual, might read a newspaper on the next day. This difference help a young person have more time to think and make possible an innovative idea.
Anther reason is that young people have less experience than old people. The less back ground they have, the more curiosity they have. Creative thinking can be followed by a desire for knowledge. My brother who is a 25-yeas old young man can be a good example. He is working at a budget team in a company and found a way to save the budget of the company through a new method from a new program. while his bosses, who had got throught various projects and situations, were only considering to cut the expence of whole departments. It was a common solution that everybody can think of. However, my brother solved the problem by the latest information system due to his interests about new technology of budgeting program.
To sum up, without any hesitation, I insist that young people are more suitable for jobs needed creativity than older people due to their ability to use a number of data sources and continuous curiosity what never expierenced before. |
