(AD) Do you agree or disagree that progress is always good? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Who would disagree with the statement “progress is good?” Without progress, there would be no change. Without progress there would be no improvements in our economy, our standard of living, or our health.
Progress is required to keep the economy moving forward. Without progress, new products wouldn’t be developed and new services wouldn’t be created. We would be living in the same way our grandparents and great grandparents lived and working at the same kind of jobs.
Progress is required to raise our standard of living. Our homes today are more efficient and use fewer resources thanks to improvement in home construction techniques. Our clothes are warmer and safer thanks to developments in textile manufacturing. Our educational system is better thanks to the use of modern computer technology.
Progress is required to improve the health of the world’s population. Without progress, there would be no vaccines against terrible diseases like smallpox. Without progress, we would have high infant mortality rates. Without progress, we wouldn’t have treatments for heart disease and cancer. 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 could deny the necessity of progress?
