====Creative==== {{Main|Creative democracy}} Creative democracy is advocated by American philosopher [[John Dewey]]. The main idea about creative democracy is that democracy encourages individual capacity building and the interaction among the society. Dewey argues that democracy is a way of life in his work of "Creative Democracy: The Task Before Us"<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://pages.uoregon.edu/koopman/courses_readings/dewey/dewey_creative_democracy.pdf|title=Creative Democracy β The Task Before Us|access-date=12 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150212175652/http://pages.uoregon.edu/koopman/courses_readings/dewey/dewey_creative_democracy.pdf|archive-date=12 February 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> and an experience built on faith in human nature, faith in human beings, and faith in working with others. Democracy, in Dewey's view, is a [[Morality|moral ideal]] requiring actual effort and work by people; it is not an institutional concept that exists outside of ourselves. "The task of democracy", Dewey concludes, "is forever that of creation of a freer and more humane experience in which all share and to which all contribute".
