Is progress neccesarily beneficial for society ?
I don't think so .
I believe that with progress , comes change.Not all the time , change is good .
Progress can destroy a country's culture . For instance , the culture revoulution in China that led to many priceless buddhist artifacts to be destroyed and brought suffering to the people .
We can also cite evidence from the novel, The Village by The Sea .Before Hari's father knew about toddy , he was a hardworkibng fisherman . Since the progress has brought many city shops, such as the toddy shop, to Thul , Hari's father has changed . He was always drunk and even sold off his boat to pay his debt . This progress change Hari's life . He constantly lived in fear of debt collectors , worrying about his sisters school fee and that nights dinner,his mother's medical fees and also , a job.
Progress is like a well . You'll never know how deep the well is until you fall into it .

Hi I am Shenghua.
I do think progress is necessary as it will mean the good future of one society. If there is no progress, there will be no wealth in the society and as it is be poor, it always will be. So do consider about my comment, thanks!
I do not agree that change is not good. We all need to change and improve our lifestyle.
