ESSAY:
Innovation exactly means a new way of doing something. This is different from invention, which means an idea made manifest and innovation means ideas made successfully in practice. It is a basic need for a company or any organization to work forward successfully. Without innovative ideas, companies may tend to cease. It also demands creativity. However, not every new idea is innovative. It may lie between the new products as well as the services of any organization. The given statement is not true about welcoming innovation and accepting new ideas. For people it proved to be difficult to accept new idea at the very first stage then they agree after its implementation.

Health insurance in America becomes an issue from decades. The health care system in United States is most expensive in the world. In the journal, Health Affairs, the study concluded that about 47 million people in the United States are uninsured because of high costs. President of United States presented a bill for healthcare reforms at present took decades to pass from the senate. To provide healthcare benefits to each American was difficult in the era of Republican Party. Even now, opposition took stand for not approving the bill. This is the innovative idea for best of the people. This will help most of people in the country to get secure coverage and better life. It is difficult to accept its implementation for some of them. It now becomes a law but still need lot of amendments in the bill and its applications goes on a year or decade.

Martin Luther king Jr. was an African American activist and prominent leader for civil right movement. He raised public consciousness about racial segregation and discrimination through civil disobedience. The event of Montgomery Bus Boycott, 1955 was an example of racial segregation in his life. This boycott last for a year and was followed by the king himself. In which, he was arrested during the campaign and situation became tense. This campaign ended by US district court to diminish racial segregation in Montgomery public buses. King’s innovative idea was shocking and unacceptable for the people of high-class society. Gandhi’s non-violent movement also impressed him, which was using as a potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity. Opposition took stand and make barriers for him and his movement. Today his efforts have appreciated as a civil rights fonder. He was award the presidential Medal of Freedom and established a US national holiday on his name.
Another example of innovation that affected people on large scale was converting the muscle power to motor power and then into brainpower. In early 1900s, people got jobs because of their strength and physical fitness. In this case, farmers trudged behind their farm implements over their shoulders. When industrial age took place of agrarian age, new machinery were designed like tractors, backhoes, forklifts, cranes and many other devices that saved time and energy. After this resulted in loss of many jobs, this was not healthy for people and their families. Now the world has entered from industrial age to information age. In which most of the duties have been taking over by the auto machinery that does not require more labor to operate. The emergence of computer, telecommunication and satellite technology has dramatically changed the way of working and takes only few employees to accomplish the task. While losing a job can be agonizing for workers but overall this change has long-term effects on the economy.

Without innovation, we are unable to improve the quality of preexisting technologies, laws and legislations, politics and many more. As we know, change is necessary for progress. There is always a need of improvement and requisition of new ideas. People do feel difficult to accept them at first. Presenting an innovation is a biggest challenge and its implementation is an excitement for some and frightening for others. Innovation has the direct effect of creating new jobs and indirect effect of destroying preexisting jobs. Finally, people do welcome innovation and new ideas. It also affected the people for short time and even takes time to accept but has long-term benefits.
