Creativity, Culture, and Development
This volume presents a collection of writings on the relations among creativity, culture and development.The editors invited “like-minded” researchers of creativity from around the world to share their respective notions of creativity.Given that human creativity is a potential that can and should be nurtured in the course of lifespan development and across all cultural backgrounds, the volume emphasizes the importance of promoting creativity in all cultures and through societal-educational opportunities, and offers a venue for the authors to make conceptual, empirical and practical inquiries into the relations among creativity, development and culture.The authors represent a varied “mix” of contemporary and emerging creativity researchers who use different methodologies to investigate the importance of culture in creativity development and the reciprocal role of developing creativity and cultural enrichment.The volume represents an attempt on the part of the editors and the authors to broaden our current understanding of creativity in the contexts of human and cultural development, and in so doing to enhance our understanding of creativity, culture and development in the contexts of flourishing human and societal activities.As the first volume in a book series on “Creativity in the Twenty-First Century”, the book invites readers and researchers to engage in future interdisciplinary and intercultural discourses and dialogues on the importance of creativity for human and cultural development.

Which culture is the best culture in the world?
It is not appropriate to label any one culture as the "best" in the world as every culture has its own unique strengths and values. Each culture contributes to the diversity and richness of the world, and it is important to respect and appreciate the differences among them. Instead of comparing cultures, it is more valuable to learn from and celebrate the diversity of cultures around the world.

Why is Turkish culture often confused with Arab culture?
Turkish culture is often confused with Arab culture due to several factors. Firstly, both cultures are located in the Middle East and share some similarities in language, religion, and traditional customs. Additionally, there is a historical connection between the two regions through the Ottoman Empire, which had a significant influence on Arab countries. Furthermore, the media and popular culture often portray a homogenized view of the Middle East, leading to misconceptions and generalizations about the diverse cultures within the region. However, it is important to recognize and appreciate the distinct differences and unique aspects of Turkish and Arab cultures.

James Watt (1736-1819) : Culture, Innovation and Enlightenment
James Watt (1736-1819) was a pivotal figure of the Industrial Revolution.His career as a scientific instrument maker, inventor and engineer was developed in Scotland, his land of birth.His subsequent national and international significance as a scientist, technologist and businessman was formed in the Birmingham area.There, his partnership with Matthew Boulton and the intellectual and personal support of other members of the Lunar Society network, such as Erasmus Darwin, James Keir, William Small and Josiah Wedgwood, enabled him to translate his improvements in steam technology into efficient machines.His pumping and rotative steam engines represent a summit of technological achievement in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. This is the traditional picture of James Watt. After his death, his surviving son, James Watt junior projected his father’s image through commissioning sculptures, medals, paintings and biographies which celebrated his reputation as a ‘great man’ of the Industrial Revolution.In popular historical understanding Watt has also become a hero of modernity, but the context in which he operated and the roles of others in shaping his ideas have been downplayed.This book explores new aspects of his work and evaluates him in his locational, family, social and intellectual contexts.

Inventing Laziness : The Culture of Productivity in Late Ottoman Society
Neither laziness nor its condemnation are new inventions, however, perceiving laziness as a social condition that afflicts a 'nation' is.In the early modern era, Ottoman political treatises did not regard the people as the source of the state's problems.Yet in the nineteenth century, as the imperial ideology of Ottomanism and modern discourses of citizenship spread, so did the understanding of laziness as a social disease that the 'Ottoman nation' needed to eradicate.Asking what we can learn about Ottoman history over the long nineteenth-century by looking closely into the contested and shifting boundaries of the laziness - productivity binary, Melis Hafez explores how 'laziness' can be used to understand emerging civic culture and its exclusionary practices in the Ottoman Empire.A polyphonic involvement of moralists, intellectuals, polemicists, novelists, bureaucrats, and, to an extent, the public reveals the complexities and ambiguities of this multifaceted cultural transformation.Using a wide variety of sources, this book explores the sustained anxiety about productivity that generated numerous reforms as well as new understandings of morality, subjectivity, citizenship, and nationhood among the Ottomans.

What is the difference between historical culture and memory culture?
Historical culture refers to the collective understanding and interpretation of historical events, traditions, and customs within a society. It encompasses the tangible and intangible aspects of a society's past, including artifacts, monuments, and rituals. Memory culture, on the other hand, focuses on the ways in which a society actively engages with and remembers its history. It involves the processes of commemoration, memorialization, and the transmission of historical knowledge through storytelling, education, and public discourse. While historical culture is the broader framework of a society's historical identity, memory culture is the active, dynamic practice of remembering and interpreting that history.

Does globalization destroy culture?
Globalization can have both positive and negative impacts on culture. On one hand, it can lead to the spread of ideas, values, and traditions across borders, promoting cultural exchange and understanding. However, it can also result in the homogenization of cultures, as Western ideals and consumerism become dominant, potentially eroding local traditions and identities. Ultimately, the impact of globalization on culture depends on how it is managed and whether efforts are made to preserve and celebrate diverse cultural expressions.
