I think that could be a whole other topic. "What IS progress?"
Regardless, that is a tough request/question.

I concur with Skriiiiti, progress by western standards is motivated by profit. Yet if progress where defined by another culture such as Native American, then progress is defined by spirit and honoring nature.
