Who would disagree with the statement, “Progress is good”? Without progress, there can be no change to our economy, our standard of living, or our health.
Progress requires keeping the economy moving forward: new products need to be developed, new services need to be created. Without progress, our economy would stand still. There would be no change.
Progress is required to improve our standard of living. Our homes today are more efficient and use fewer natural resources, thanks to improvement in home construction techniques. Our clothes are warmer and made of safer materials, thanks to developments in textile manufacturing. Our education system is better, thanks to the use of computers and the Internet.
Progress is required to improve the health of the world population. Without progress, there would be no vaccines against deadly diseases like smallpox. Without progress, there would be more infant mortality. Thanks to progress, our lives are longer and healthier.
Progress is a natural state. Without it, we would not evolve. Without it, our economy, our standard of living, and our health would deteriorate. Who can deny the necessity of progress? |
