The Idea of progress (Sebbar Nouhaila TES2)


       Hi, I'm gonna talk about The idea of progress. To begin, i'm gonna define the term of progress which corresponds to going to a higher level, to expand, to grow in stages. To illustrate my presentation of the Idea of Progress I chose three documents studied in class.

First I chose the document video on William Kamkwamba. It's a technical project, he made windmill. The people concerned by progress are William's family and close neighbours. The action take place in a poor region of Malawi. It talk about a revolutionnar innovation because in this document we learn that William built a windmill with nothing. It's beneficial project because it'll give electricity to a lot of people, it's also a positive impact for them, The author of the video want to make William's praise for what he've done.
 

Then i chose the document « Free at Last » from the book. It talks about a social progress because the narrator changing his hobbies is becoming a better man. The young offenders are concerned by pregress. The action set in Bostral, a correctionnal institution. The stake is to show to us that the young offenders can change. The advantages are that this system make them do sport and it also make them think of something else, it will enable them take care of their minds and escape to avoid start their bad habits. It's a positive impact because it allows them to change.
 
 
To sum up i chose the document from the film « The Sixth day » about human cloning. It's a scientific progress. The people concerned are Adam, the scientist and Adam's daughter's dog who is dead, The scene take place in a shop which called « Repet ». The goal of this shop is to clone pets who are dead. The advantages are that it's safe, it's a proven technology, the dog is the same, it will remember everything, all the tricks, all the details. But the disadvantages are that it's dangerous, it will have no soul and it could have starp teeth.
     To put it in a nutshell i chose these three ducuments because in each case there is a progress although they are different. It also proves that progress exist.
