Summary
The Creativity could be defined as a set of capacities enabling a person to behave in new and adaptive way in given contexts (Gardner, 1993a; Lautrey & Lubart, 1998; Lubart, 1994). Y. Diarra et al 830 kind of creativity that occurs in the domain of everyday interactions.

Martin Luther’s refusal to recanted his beliefs at the Diet of Worms, which eventually led him to create a new religious movement, or the lifelong political actions of the Indian leader Gandhi (Gardner, 1993a) can be seen as instances of eminent-level creativity in the social domain.
