Juxtaposition

I know its a bit late to update my blogs (because i hate blogging). So this is what I understand about juxtaposition.

Juxtaposition =

Noun	1.	juxtaposition - the act of positioning close together (or side by side); "it is the result of the juxtaposition of contrasting colors" collocation, apposition locating, positioning, emplacement, location, placement, position - the act of putting something in a certain place tessellation - the careful juxtaposition of shapes in a pattern; "a tessellation of hexagons"
	2.	juxtaposition - a side-by-side position position, place - the particular portion of space occupied by something; "he put the lamp back in its place"

So from my understanding, juxtaposition is like two random objects moving in parallel, a technique intended to stimulate creativity or putting two different things that is somewhat unrelated to create something that is creative. For example

a car is somewhat positioned towards the sky and a building

a banana or a toothpaste? or both; banana toothpaste?

In my understanding is creativeis related the ability to create something that is the result from thoughts, expression or anything that is regarded as creative. Creativity and creative acts are therefore studied across several disciplines - psychology, cognitive science, education, philosophy (particularly philosophy of science), technology, theology, sociology, linguistics,business studies, and economics. As a result, there are a multitude of definitions and approaches.
