This research paper: A 5 page opinion paper answering the question, “Does progress make civilizations more civilized?” The paper discusses the civilization of the ancient Greeks and Aristotle’s belief that the highest form of existence is in leading the contemplative life. It compares the Greeks some of their neighbors, and discusses the advanced civilization of the native tribes of North America. The September 11 terrorist attacks, drive-by shootings and the discovery of hundreds of unburied bodies at a crematorium are far less civilized than pre-colonization Cherokee death rituals. Progress brought the ability to live with less personal responsibility for one’s own actions. The paper concludes that we absolutely are no more civilized as a result of the technological progress we have made. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
