                                            The idea of progress

As for as I'm concerned progress is the action of going forward,of  growing, of being a better  example . There are lots of ideas of progress . In class we studied differents text with different ideas .

⦁    We studied « helping the dreamers » by Barack Obama . To me this text is  very important progress for the history of the United States of America because it's the first time a american president has established a law in favour of immigration . This text is  political and social progress.
In my opinion it's very positive progress for immigrants because they can have driver's license or scholarship , this is  important progress for the U.S.A .

⦁    Second, we studied a video « How I harnessed the wind » by william Kamkwamba . To me william Kamkwamba is like a hero of progress because in malawi there was a shortage of food and water there wasn't any electricity it's a very poor country,he couldn't pay for school fees but he learned english and he created a windmill just with a physics book ! to me it's a real experience and he showed that being poor it's not a handicap we can be very intelligent and poor that's why it's a progress technical because now his family have water electricity and help their neighbours but too social because to me willian kamkwanba it's like a hope for the people of Africa .

⦁    Finally the last document study in class is "design your baby" it's cartoon talking about cloning and designer babies . The scientists are seeking perfection they are fat ugly and near-sighted and it's ironic that they're trying to make a baby like them ! To me it's like a baby shop and depersonalizes people . I strongly believe it's a negative progress because it's not natural, babies shouldn't be a fashion and a business and it can cause discrimination . However designer babies can be a positive progress for science and for instance parents who can't have babies .

to put in the nutshell the progress is very important for evolution of earth there are postive or negative progress but it's different for every people that's why choise the 3 documents because to me we can see lot of different progress (political,social,technical ..) . To me the progress created our society over time .
