Cultural barriers include “requirement for conformity, expectation of politeness and following rules for social order, a reliance on statistical proofs, a dependence on generalization, a belief in an either/or perspective on issues” (p. 188). I think these are the reasons I experienced from being creative. Every summer, my whole family goes on a trip with about 10 family members. Sometimes the younger members in the family always think of some activity exciting to do like kayaking. However, there are older family members involved, therefore, we just always end up with some peace and more relax vacation. Plus, adults always more paranoid about exciting trips because they are more afraid of accidents. In the end, no matter how many exciting ideas my cousins and I come up with, we usually pick a place that travel agents suggest us. The pressure of conformity, expect of the elders, terrible accidents reports on trips…. etc made these trips always less exciting than they can be.
