Blog Prompt: Is progress necessarily beneficial for society? Comment.

I think that progress is necessary for the benefit of society. I would like to cite evidence from Village by the Sea to support my argument.

Firstly, if Hari did not learn watch-making skills from Mr Panwallah, he would have not survived the development of Thul.

Secondly, most of the villagers in Thul were too stubborn to adapt to the development of the country.

I would also use animals to support my argument. For example, a clownfish adapts to the environment by hiding in the sea anemone while the clown fish protects the sea anemone from its predators.

Please comment.

  1. I think you are right because if there is not such word as 'progress',the world will go backwards.The world is developing very fast.Many new inventions are produced.Hence,if you do not learn new thing.Then,you will always live in the past.Progress is necessary
