Following global progress is, without doubt, a desirable attribute of any society. However, to claim that the reasons why some companies may not progress at the same pace as larger companies are reluctant to step out of their comfort zone and their fear of the unknown is to present an overly simplistic view. Such a vision does not take into consideration all of the economic, political and cultural constraints that affect the capacity of each society to progress on a global scale. Say no to plagiarism.

The concept of what makes a society great is highly subjective; some may equate greatness with military might or economic dominance, while others will emphasize cultural success or progress by caring for less privileged citizens. However, however one defines greatness, it is ridiculous to suggest that a society actively rejects the desire to be great. Many societies face a seemingly insurmountable struggle to maintain their social structure in the face of economic need or political upheaval; the desire for greatness can only emerge when the basic structure of a society is intact. Societies facing serious economic challenges are virtually unable to advance in areas such as medicine, military power, and agriculture, even if they want to. Countries like Bolivia use the majority of their limited resources to maintain the status quo of their agrarian society. Bolivian farmers are not afraid of the unknown or passively content with their current situation, but use all their resources to provide for their families and maintain the social structure of their villages. In this situation, the luxury of achievements in medicine, technology and military power is simply not possible. Additionally, societies experiencing political upheaval, like South Sudan, are unable to send their young and talented members to universities where they can spearhead progress. ; the strongest segments of the population are called upon to serve in the army or take care of families in difficult times. Maintaining societal coherence under chaotic conditions results in a lack of progress, as typically measured, but as we have seen over time, episodes of great drama in a given society can give rise to important works of art. An example of this is Albert Camus's The Stranger, written during the French resistance. Another, more current example is They Poured Fire on Us from the Sky, Benjamin Ajak's autobiographical novel about Sudanese boys fleeing the country's civil war. Another point to consider is that, in some cases, the cultural history of an entire society, including its artistic contributions, is preserved only through the rich oral tradition of its living members and their active rejection of change in the fields of technology and science. This is evident when considering the Amish, whose motivation for using horse-drawn buggies and denying Internet access lies not in fear or discomfort, but in a conscious desire to maintain a mode of traditional life which they sometimes find difficult but always valuable. .Keep in mind: This is just a sample.Get an item now..
