The Philosophy of Progress: Are We Truly Better Off?

Modern societies are built on the idea of constant progress, particularly in fields like technology, science, and the economy. However, some critics argue that this relentless pursuit of ‘more’ and ‘newer’ has not necessarily made people happier or improved the quality of life, and may even have created new problems. Discuss the extent to which you believe that the concept of ‘progress’ has been beneficial or detrimental to society, using specific examples to support your argument.
