Document Summary

Real progress and progress traps are significant terms that wright applies to articulate the significant stages of the human civilizations. According to the author, the natural order when there was no struggle for human survival was the ideal situation. Human populations were comfortable with the hunting and gathering. However, the increase in population demands changes of lifestyle. The establishment and the domestication of both animals and crops led to a need for rules to govern the societies (wright 32). Thus, real progress was conceived as the ability of the increasing populations to live in harmony. Real progress implies the creation of regulations and the emergence of rulers where everything is agreed upon by the people. The business and introduction of the technologies are acceptable and agreed upon by the members of the communities. As a result, the systems work for everyone as no opposition to the rules and the regulations.
