Stereotypes are generalizations or assumptions about all members of a group whereby we attribute a defined set of characteristics involving gender, race, national origins to this group. Stereotype can be positive or negative. When people don't understand a kind of person, they put them into classifications, thinking that everyone which is the same kind should be the same, or anyone who acts like their classifications is one.

Creativity is a process , while invention and innovation both are states. Creativity is a state of mind in which to be able to discover new ideas. New ideas usually means doing something in a new way...which is innovation.

Innovation leads to invention...a new discovery, creating something never exist before.

Creativity - Invention - Innovation all these are comes in a sequence.

☆ Novelty

In my point of view, novelty means something new and special. Novelty can be divided into 2 types : subjective and objective novelty. Subjective novelty is the point of view of something new and unique by either an individual or a group of people who has the same way of thinking. Objective novelty, on the other hand, means something new through the ages.

This is a real novelty product to put in any car lover's home.
