Is progress always good?
Is progress always good? Almost all the people think progress is a
good thing to improve their lives. Though some of them point out
that progress brings about some bad side effects at the same time. In
my point of view, I think progress is always good, if we attach
higher importance to its minor negative effects, it should show even
significant
merits. I have several reasons to demonstrate my opinions.
First of all, progress means development. With the rapid technical
development, our lives are changed tremendously day and night. For
instance, nowadays, we can travel to another country in a few days
or even hours. We can keep contact with clients in thousands miles
away by e-mails every day. These progresses ensure us to live in a
comfortable society our older generation could hardly imagine in
their times.
Second, progress enhances healthy competition. We can see that
several big companies` pitch for the flagship position in the market.
When they make big technical progress and lessen the costs so as to
make more profits, they obtain the leadership position in the
industry. Thus, many companies are eager to carry out new
inventions and technical breakthroughs.
Admittedly, overheated industry progress sometimes brings about
some bad shortcomings such as pollution, deforestation, etc.
However, its advantages surely outweigh its disadvantages, we
should not throw the water out along with the baby in the same
bathe basin. If we set up strict policy and sincerely obey the law, we
can minimize these bad things to a large extent.
We can conclude from the foregoing reasons that progress is always
good, Besides, when we cautiously avoid its bad side effects, we can
ensure it benefiting us more in a long term.
