Progressivism HW

I think individually we don't have much power to steer the course of progress for the human race, however I think when we band together into movements and democracies we have the power to do a lot, or give someone the power to do a lot. For instance with the new US President Donald Trump he is trying to progress in areas such as economic growth and self stability, however by doing so he is digressing foreign affairs and certain human rights. It's kinda of like a two step's forward one step backwards thing, overall we are progressing as time goes on, however to progress in some areas we choose to digress in others and it's the decision on what to progress and what to digress that we have as a democracy and how we influence our future.
