Yes, progress is positive, it is otherwise called regress.
- jowsie 6y agoIt's not black and white, progress for one may seem like regress for another.
- Fargren 6y agoYou can move in a wrong direction without moving backwards. I agree progress is not the correct word here, the correct term is probably "change". Restricting Free Speech inhibits change, whether good or bad (it doesn't completely stop it either, obviously).
- oliwarner 6y agoNo, in the context of societal development, progress is usually just forwards. There's always someone who preferred the good old days, positive is subjective, or at least, subject to certain criteria, and even then, it's often multiple generations that pass before we know one way or another.
- toxik 6y agoI did not argue the subject matter, simply that progress is positive contrasted with the negative regress. Call it forwards and backwards if you like, same thing.
