Ponzi scheme

Creativity is commonly associated with being a positive trait that would be a good thing to acquire. However, creativity can be used for what society would deem immoral means. An example of this would be using creativity as a tool within a Ponzi scheme. Bernard Madoff was responsible for one of the largest Ponzi schemes in history that had a fraud of $64.8 billion. Madoff's creativity allowed him to get away with this large amount of fraud for decades without being detected.

battleshots

Majority of creative ideas do not come out of thin air. People get the ideas from the various stimuli in their environment. This stimuli can include something a person sees, hears, or touches.This game of battleshots is a creative way to turn the game battleship into a drinking game. The easily accessible pizza box, shot glasses, and sharpie made a fun creative new game.

oreos

When I got my Oreo's out and opened them it occurred to me that the person who came up with the Life tab is very creative.  It functions to make opening easier for the consumer and is resealable making the cookies stay fresh longer. It is a simple idea, however, no one else came up with the idea of putting a lift tab on the top. This invention is brilliant in its simplicity. Many simple inventions like this make life just a little bit easier.

addiction

My addictions counseling professor told us how many chemically dependent people are very intelligent and creative. To enhance his point the professor told the class a story about how high school students were able to sneak alcohol into the school. The students would soak tampons in alcohol and then "stick them where the sun don't shine". This would lead to the students slowly get intoxicated throughout the day. Furthermore, no one would take a close look at feminine hygiene products. In my opinion this is a very creative way to use and be undetected.
