¿WHAT CONSTITUTES DOING?

GENERAL RULES FOR, determine the progress of humanity Comparing Their achievements in various historical periods. Philosophically, however it, the nature of progress is larger, say, than the mere comparison of the artifacts used by ancient civilizations and modern products. One must have an understanding of what it is That progress is progress. The single substitution of the word "progress" , for " progress "," development "," development ", for me is not one enough satisfaction. The subject Should be Approached from a semantic point of view. In other words, what gave rise to the notion of progress? What That Man has had experience, or you, Is that related to the word progress? category must belong What human thought and action to be called progress?

  To start an analysis of progress, we propose a single definition. We Say That progress is Achieving the Desired end. Malthus, any change in thought or act of an existing object or circumstance, other than as an improvement is seen, seem to fit this definition. The info we have Proposed definition, Refers to a " Desired end . " Suppose a person has to Whose book covers are Easily spotted and want to remedy That situation. Eventually it Occurs to wrap it in plastic, que proves to be satisfactory. So this would be progress. Another example: round bottles inside refrigerators wasted space, so a solution is Sought. Square bottles are invented; improvement That satisfies the desire to find a solution. In These examples the order is Obtained Desired, the course content of progress.

 

  We note, however it, That to Obtain the Desired end, always dominates other condition. Our current we almost always Seems to be one way, and besides, it is Considered relativamente upward. There is a movement of what is seen as an inferior or lesser quality or state, to a higher or better. A tendency of our current state to a lower, not Considered to progress due to a factor, ie, the desire. In other words, you never want to worsening current state of regress. No one to fight for a lower quality. Consequently, if a condition Eventually That seems less experienced, will never be Because there are Desired improvement. Necessarily Progress must be an Individual achievement first, before it can be collective or group. The single has to come to the personal conclusion That tells you what direction lead changes in thinking and Their In Their actions.

  Are these changes up or down? Single There will be no progress for n, it will not be that not fit a preconceived Un certain higher order That the above, I want to achieve. As subsequent analogy, suppose a person individually factotum believes in freedom of competition. That One Should Think thrive Primarily through Their Own initiative. Now this single is hit by a stream of state socialist policies. The state and That Guarantees Their welfare of others, ignoring the Individual's Ability or effort. No matter what changes the state do to Improve this guy, I've actually does not get a personal progress. This is Because he has not directed towards what've Been sees as a higher end. A like analogy CONFIRMS this principle.

  A villa in California, a famous colony of artists was Chosen by them Because of its picturesque and inspiring location. Local government is composed of several kinds of artists. That is His desire this villa Maintains its rustic appearance: sidewalks woods, unpaved streets and quaint gas lamps. The clerkship of the county and state opposes this view, insist on Modernizing, With every sense of the word. But modernization is not Considered That progress by artists living in the villa. There is progress Because there is a tendency towards What They conceive as a higher end. What would we say if someone accepts a situation or object as progress, without Which I or she Would have conceived in advance? Suppose you invent a device That is subsequently Hailed by many as a symbol of progress. How determined to who accepted this invention, que is progress? Any device or situation Eventually They proclaimed as progress, is not a product of Their Own minds.

  These people Realized That it was Necessary to make comparisons Between the new device and what Preceded, from the point of view of the lead. We say, for example, That "A" is what has-been and "B" , by contrast, is the new, the different. Which of the two is better from the point of view of the advantage? Is "A" , the old, or "B" , the new? If the Latter, the new, then obviously, there was a progression. It is an upward movement, relatively speaking. Now, In this sense, Have Realized, having Perceived

If subsequently the Existing advantage, equivalent to having received the prior, and then turn to her to catch up. In other words, Whether one sees an advantage and then Achieved, or later Recognize and accept, in Both cases shown progress.

In you I trust.
