1-Progress should be the aim of any great society. People too often cling unnecessarily to obsolete ways of thinking and acting because of both a high comfort level and a fear of the unknown.

Progress is a necessity for individuals as well as societies of the world and time is the just measurement for all progresses. If some individuals in societies are prolific enough in either fields such as literature,art,architecture,industry or etc, societies would develop and people feel sanguine about their future. Otherwise, society tend to fall behind the era which means progresses fail to obviate the need of society. What is worse, gradually changed mindset of society moves away from productive thinking because obsolete ways of thinking and acting is in the scene. Therefore individuals in societies need to use their time to develop thinking in positive sciences to get rid of unnecessarily obsolete ways of thinking which preclude progress of a society in aforementioned fields. My arguments for these points are as follows.

First and foremost, consider Europe in middle ages when people was badly fall away from positive sciences and they tend to practice obsolete ways of thinking in order to maintain their comfort or not to fear of unknown. For example, surgeons were often monk or peasant who submit more pain to relieve pain and they did not know even human anatomy. Moreover, talented people were often condemned and prohibited from making further research in any fields to progress society. Literature, art were also suffering and lost their integration with society under the autocracy of ill mindset minorities .

On the contrary, if societies aim to progress continuously, their welfare would increase such a value that people do not need to perform unnecessary obsolete ways of thinking and acting. For instance, Rome was a place where people emigrate from all over the world because of constant progress in society. As a result, Rome welcomed talented individuals in literature, architecture, art and science as well as cultivated citizens. By this way, people lived in justice and comfort even they gave democracy, Latin alphabet,etc as a perdurable gift to today's modern man.

However, opponents may argue that rapid progress of a society may give harm to its people and China might be an example for this situation. People are working under harsh conditions too long to progress and increase welfare of nation, but they are deprived of benefits of progress. This is either not a preferable case or may not have long-term achievements as well as Rome sample.

Understandably, continuous and sustainable progress should be the aim of a society to develop open-minds which refuse obsolete ways of thinking and acting in more better living conditions.

Writing Feedback / ( TPO 5 ) things they like to do ? things they should do ? [3]

Crystal812 interesting explanations, but it would be better if you consider a few points more:

1. In your first paragraph you should ONLY briefly introduce your arguments which you will support with compelling examples in your second and third paragraph. Take my uncle Joshua as an example: he pays the visit to the museums in the city to appreciate masterpieces of art on weekend periodically.

2. If you repeat same adverbs at the beginning of paragraphs, proofreaders would think that your adverbs vocabulary is too limited.

3. So from my point of view, Unfortunately, this is a week opening for your conclusion since everybody knows that it is your opinion. You do not feel to repeat it .

Try to enjoy writing your essays.

Best, AAORA

@Stinn , i am appreciating your adorable comments. I also want to discourse a few point about it :

1. Did you remember the GRE-Issue topic : "Government funding of the arts threatens the integrityof the arts."
In here, the idea was if government fund arts by thinking its profit -not for the sake of universal arts- , artists would stay under the pressure of government. Therefore artists might fail to produce original pieces of art.

By the same way, here in the essay above, i try to tell that monks might also threaten integrity of positive sciences.

@Stinn , i am appreciating your adorable comments.
I understood that you have been preparing for TOEFL and probably you have already gave your GRE exam. Am i wrong ? Now, I also want to clarify/discuss/correct some of your comments .

2. monks and peasants role are : ( too interesting:)
.... To relieve the pain, you submitted to more pain, and with any luck, you might get better. Surgeons in the early part of the Middle Ages were often monks because they had access to the best medical literature - often written by Arab scholars. But in 1215, the Pope said monks had to stop practicing surgery, so they instructed peasants to perform various forms of surgery. ......

@Sntinn , 4th paragraph was really awesome as you said !! I was in a hurry and I do not know how i wrote that paragraph.
Maybe i am jealous of China's development subconsciously :P . Actually, i thought China and progress might be somewhat connected interestingly.
Now i know that greed and ambition to make everything too fast and deficiency in security checks are the problems of over-development. Well, why does people accept these destroying conditions ? Don't they protest things for the sake of human rights ? Why not they stop working under harsh conditions together ??
