Research-juxtaposition

Reseaching the word "juxtaposition" to get a clearer idea of the word. I researched it in http://www.dicrionary.com/ and it came up with the definition: "jux·ta·po·si·tion /ˌdʒʌkstəpəˈzɪʃən/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[juhk-stuh-puh-zish-uhn] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1.
an act or instance of placing close together or side by side, esp. for comparison or contrast.
2.
the state of being close together or side by side.

and with the help of wikipedia, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_juxtaposition)
it says "Random juxtaposition refers to the stimulation of creativity in problem solving, design or other creative pursuit by confronting two unrelated concepts or objects, usually the goal or problem to be solved on the one hand and a randomly selected object or concept on the other."
