Human+ingenuity

Human ingenuity is the way in which human minds have influenced how we think, work, play, construct and conduct friendships and other relationships, interact with each other, find solutions to problems, cause problems, transform things and rationalize thought. It also considers the consequences of human thought and action. There are many opportunities to explore human ingenuity in our subject as language is so often used as an expression of our thoughts.
