Creativity and Individuality

     Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends promotes individuality and creativity. In the show, there is all types of imaginary for ends that are seen and are made by children for a purpose. The show either reminds teenagers or adults of imaginary friend they used to have or tells a child now that it is okay for them to have an imaginary friend. It enhances the child to have an imagination which can die out quickly if not used. The show promotes making imaginary friends that make you happy whether that means making an all blue on or making one that doesn't really make sense to others but does to you. The show shows that being different is okay and that not everyone's imagination will be the same. Everyone has their own interests and  who they are. All the imaginary friend are different, none of them are the same in anyway. This is like our human race. We are all different and no one is going to be the same. It shows children that being different isn't wrong but they should embrace it. Even the boy in the show, Mac, is suppose to not believe in imaginary friends anymore which shows how our society tried to take away creativity and imagination from our children but Mac still decides to hold into his imaginary friend and in return becomes friends with other imaginary friends. The show also tells us not to judge a book by its cover. One of the imaginary friends, Eduardo, is a huge monster like imaginary friend. Though he looks tough on the outside, he is soft and weak on the inside. It shows that some people are not what they look like. You mist get to know them and understand who they are before you can judge. These themes should be thought to our children more often since it seems that individuality and creativity is dying slowly and we are all slowly beginning to be the same and do the same thing. There should be more shows as this one that teaches that creativity isn't a crime and being who you are is okay. This show teaches that everyone has a meaning and that no matter how different you look, you are this way for a reason and that creativity is key to a better view of the world.
