With development of society, human have made many progress in almost every aspect. No matter in economy, education, or the daily life, those progress brings a new, easy world to us. Thus, I believe the progress are good.
  Firstly, the increasing of economy gives people more variety of products, meanwhile the more extra money could be involved into the developing of technology and education, which, likes cars, internet, cell phone and computer makes our lives become much convenient than the ancient people. The organic food,advanced medical treatment and new transportation without pollution help people have a long life span and high quality environment. If without these progress, I cannot imagine what is kind of society we would live in. 
  Also, the progress reflects in the society and nations. In the last century, many countries suffered from the Fascist or Communism. But, today, more and more people realize that the democracy, freedom,  legal are the symptoms of civilization. In Middle East, Africa and Asia, many revolutions, reform are going to improve people's lives. These progress in nations could provide a better way to control the rate of criminal, release the classic conflicts, finally to build a more harmonious society. The governments from different countries have learned to use communication to save many international problems which can effectively avoid the war. After all, the war is the really disaster for all the human being.
  Admittedly, the progress is a sword with two blades, many progress new ones eliminate the old things. like the Ipad takes place of the video games, Iphone supersedes the BP device. Those old things with many memory when I was a kid, which is very hard to be replaced.
  From all above, we can safely draw the conclusion that the progress is good thing.
