What is the cost of progress? Till what point people are going to leave aside their health in order to achieve the progress of the society?
When I think of progress, the first question that appears in my mind is: progress, for whom? Is progress implying a progress for all the people who belong to the society? Or it is just for some of them? The issue here is the term itself. We all want progress for our lives and society but, what are the risks, advantages and disadvantages of it? I think that just few people stop to think about this issue.
Many politicians fill their mouths with sweet words about progress, that it is needed, that we must work for it... however, do politicians realize that progress means?-at least for me- it is an improvement for ALL the people, in terms of life standard, security, education, health, etc.
The term itself is so overused that just few take into consideration its real meaning. It seems that progress implies improvements for the dominant class, which unfortunately, seems to “represent” to majority of people.
