Define regressive and progressive. I see these terms used all the time but I've never seen a description that matched the words.

  No parental leave, assisted suicide, sick leave, non competes are allowed, their schools leaders are religious and backwards, still fighting abortion rights, illegal marijuana, etc.

    Unless those issues affect a person directly then they don't care.
    • lotsofpulp 7y ago
      Some people care about the welfare of others. I believe society is better if mothers and fathers are given time to care for a newborn, and beyond with sick days. And I don’t know anyone who isn’t affected by assisted suicide seeing as how no one has figured out how to escape diseases such as Alzheimer’s or dementia or cancer.

    So progressive means "things I like" and regressive is "things I don't like"?

      Generally, it means things that give more people a better quality of life. Black people getting civil rights, women’s suffrage, abortion rights, gay rights, were all considered progressive as far as I know.
