Travail sur l'idée de progrès (document en anglais)

Introduction:

I'm going to talk about the notion Idea of progress. To begin with, I'd like to give a definition of progress. The idea of progress basically consists in believing that the world can become better in terms of art, science, technology, liberty, and quality of life. However, sometimes progress causes more problems than it solves .So, we are going to present the different topics where the idea of progress appears and then introduce its advantages and disadvantages.

Technology: Z

Technology is the electric machines and systems that most people use daily. Technology has developed a lot during those years, and two important devices that most people use daily are the cellular and computer. The strongest advantage that technology can bring us is the much easier communication, and entertainment.

Technology could bring us a much easier communication by the internet or by the cellular. In the old days communication was much harder, people that were in different countries or cities either couldn't communicate with each other, or had to travel days to initiate communication with one another. Also when a person used to travel his/her family knew nothing about him/her or probably lost him/her, since none of his/her family would want to travel great distances in order to know about his/her news. Nowadays this great advantage of long distance communication would keep all the family together, even if both families were very far from each other.

Technology could also bring us entertainment by the millions chatting programs, multiplayer games, and movies. In the old days people didn't have those kinds of entertainments, so they used to spend their leisure times by something that is probably concerned more boring. If someone in the old days had to be alone for like couple of months, then he/she would get very bored, and probably start going crazy. Nowadays even if someone was alone for years, there are always those entertainments to not get very bored as much as before. This advantage of the internet makes it very easy for anyone to social around.

In conclusion, technology did really bring us advantages for the two main reasons I have mentioned.

Science: A

The process of science is a way of building knowledge about the universe — constructing new ideas that illuminate the world around us. Science is a way of learning how things work . Practically, everything that we do deals with science. Science is a systematic attempt to establish knowledge to explain occurrences through objective means such as observing, studying, and experimenting.

On the otherhand, the application of science leads to the development of technology. Technology comes from the Greek word tekne, which means art, craft or skill. Technology is the art craft and skill of harnessing scientific knowledge. Technology has improved the quality of life in many ways. DNA Analysis is now used to solve crimes.Packaged livelihood technologies produce goods and provide work and income. Nuclear research has brought about technologies fro treating cancer, preserving food and providing energy. Harnessing energy from the sun has brought about solar powered batteries for calculators and watches. The aqualung allowed man to explore the ocean depths thereby opening the underwater world
