Our minds are a beautiful thing as scientists call it. The understanding of minds has always been a fascinating subject and psychologists and surgeons have always tried to find out the performance of the human brain. The connections of all the human body organs make it a very interesting subject to learn, which is why we have people who want to learn science. 

The brain has always remained an anonymous subject because the ability to think and move your joints such as legs and hands have always brought this feeling of 'wowness'. The ability to tell the brain to move your hands and legs and do it correctly is amazing. The aim is to find out how the creative and innovative minds of people are behind the greatest product creation and also focus on how people who have innovative and creative mindsets have been forced to stop thinking creatively and embark on new paths that are not suitable for them. 

Kids are told to be imaginative when they are playing from a young age and kids are encouraged to play with toys. Kids embraced this idea that their toys come to real life and they can become friends with them and even talk to them. Kids' imaginations start to run wild as they think of the roles each toy can play in the games that they have come up with. These imaginations are positive and often help shape the youth occupation mindset of children where they start to say the jobs that they want to do when they grow up - this is the core beginning of imagination. Parents are told to let their kids be what they want to be and explore nature and the beauty of their surroundings. 

At this point, interrogations are abandoned and children's creativity is promoted by their parents, teachers and adults. The main factor of being a child is the exploration of the mind and the freedom of connecting dots to make sense of it all. In addition, the wide range of apparatuses that could be used to make imaginations go beyond the scale to the point that a child is thinking of creative and innovative ideas. The enjoyment of imagination is present and this creates an antidote of happiness. 

Our imaginations are disturbed when adolescent age approaches and our imaginations start to disappear. The blame for this disappearance is based on different factors such as socio-economic factors and some of them are blamed on the technological aspects of teenage lives. Some imaginations are encouraged as a teenager but they are encouraged if the individual is thinking of an innovative product or service to create for the masses or imaginations are encouraged when it relates to capital being generated. Teenagers will then be encouraged to put their plans in motion and they will be encouraged to a degree to think of crazy and unthinkable imaginations of product ideas and designs to reach the standards of an entrepreneur. Most of the time, these ideas aren’t sustainable. This is when interrogations slowly creep in and the mind starts to become a wasteland where bad thoughts and feelings start filling the mind and the ideas and imaginations that they were encouraged and promoted start to fade out. 

By the time, individuals become young adults; the interrogations are present and these are in the centre of the mind - this is the beginning of a mindset erosion. The truth of the erosion begins with the fact that individuals are told that they are not good enough and everything they are doing will become nothing. The interrogations are destructive and they can change the path of individuals. The interrogation process allows people to believe that they should not put the effort in because they will not see the fruit of their labour. The interrogation process can have detrimental effects on the way that individuals think through their lives.

Certain socio-economic groups are mostly affected by this notion of interrogations of their imaginations because individuals’ mindsets are floored by the negative comments and feedback from their peers and their family members. This can affect the mindsets of these individuals because they are told that they cannot be creative and stop being creative and follow a Western path of collective capitalism. 

Being specific to the assertion of socio-economic groupings linking to interrogations of individuals’ imagination; we must look at examples from different cultural contexts to see how imaginations are not aligned to individuals’ future paths. The stereotypical approach is that certain cultures promote entertainment and education, and sometimes, these determinants that are being promoted can stop the individual’s imagination.

This should not happen because imagination is what made Steve Jobs create the Apple dynasty and imagination is what brought Facebook from a college dorm to become a global corporate infrastructure. The main point is that the mindset of individuals should never be interrogated because a child’s mindset is not interrogated and the same notion should apply when they are older. This is what creates an innovative world where ideas are common and this stops the repetitive entrepreneurial idealism. Interrogation can affect spiritual and emotional connections where individuals feel disconnected from all the factors that evolve around them.
