Terrorism kills creativity?

Simonton (1990): "Political instability indicated by coups d’état, revolts, and assassinations seemed to assert a negative influence on creativity in science, philosophy, literature, and music in the generation following the instability."

  1. I do agree on this point from an article in Wikipedia on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in this website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs .

    After Physiological needs, Safety need to be fulfilled before coming to Love/Belonging, Self Esteem and lastly Self Actualization.

    And creativity lays under Self Actualization.
