Progress or Retrogression? “The only branch of science and math concerned with the ‘Limitations’ of Evolution.” As said by Taylor Kirkland on cybernetics: this is the science of evolution. As this occurs and as time goes on human development can only move forwards and as we see these changes happening right before us‚ one can only wonder if we’re heading in the right direction. As presented in the song “Mr. Roboto” written by Dennis DeYoung‚ “Mann and Machine” from Contemporary Canadian Biographies

After reading The Myth of Progress I have learned different ways to approach a problem in a more effective way. I think of how things are connected to each other and how systems lie within other systems. Everything is connected and feeds off each other in ways that I would not have originally thought of. One example that was used was how the forest lives off all the organisms within it‚ all their actions can be used for energy for another organism. There is no waste and its goal is to reach an equilibrium

The Great Struggle “If there is no struggle then there is no progress.” This quote was said by Fredrick Douglass as a way to explain how hard the world works against us. Nature has struggle naturally‚ an example is the lion and his prey. A lion has to struggle to catch his prey‚ so he can live‚ and the prey has to struggle to stay away from the lion so it can live.

Columbus Day should be abolished because he was not the first explorer to arrive in the Americas. Many explorers before him landed there‚ but he was the first to conquer the native people and either enslave or kill them. In document 2‚ Online Petition‚ it states that the American Indians had already been living there for around 10‚000 years. Even if Columbus was the first to arrive in the Americas‚ he was not the discoverer. To say Columbus is entirely falsely praised would be stubborn and incorrect

A Bridge of “Progress” ---------character analysis of Makola As the only native workers and cultivated nigger in the trading station‚ Makola in “An Outpost of Progress” by Joseph Conrad seems to be a bridge between the natives and the white men.

The True Columbus November 23‚ 2012 The True Columbus History has always been a topic that I personally have never thought could be wrong or false; it has always been something that I thought was unquestionable‚ but Hans Koning opened my eyes to the fact that we should always question history and explore things further.
