Is progress necessarily

The conflict between old and new is seen in the differing altitudes of the people, which make progress necessary but difficult. In order for progress to be made, the way of life and the livelihood will be destroyed. This can upset the local people a great deal. There are projected harmful effects of transforming Thul and its neighbouring villages into a giant industrial complex. The city people see the factory as a dangerous source of environmental pollution. This is a necessary step to achieve progress but it threatens the means of survival of the village people. The resignation and fatalism of the other village in obvious a negative impact of progress. The people may also dislike the progress and opposes against it. This may cause a lot of trouble and negative feelings against the government. It could also be cruel to the resident as they were being forced in the progress, like giving up their land. So I think that progress is unnecessary.
