Week #1-Daily 1- Does history progress? Is an elephant really "better" than a mammoth?

       History can progress. Progress in history is an advance in something. The timeline gets longer and more is added onto it. We can get better in social, economic, and political structures.  Any major change in science, technology, or democracy that happened is a progress in history.  History progresses when we find out new things. Progress is neither automatic nor continuous.  We have to work for progress. History does not make itself up. Humans make history and can change things that happen with progress. Progress can lead to civilization, and civilization is progress. Progression means growth and advancement. We can advance and grow in history every day. It is sometimes understood as cause and effect. The effect of something is the progress of the cause. I think that history represents progress because if you look back, everything has progressed in some way, shape, or form. We have grown and populations are bigger. There has been a lot of new technology made in recent years. Important things have somehow changed throughout the years. Most theories of history represent progression.  Progress is what makes history and keeps it up to date. We also make history. History is very important to society to know where we came from and how things were done, but progress is helping us make things better. We can always progress in history. Progress will never end. When the iPhone was created, they kept making new generations of it because it kept progressing. History will always be a progressive and changing thing.
       In my opinion, elephants are better than mammoths because they still exist today, but that is just an opinion. Other people can think that mammoths are better. There can be many arguments about which animal is better, but we all know that whichever mammal is said to be “better” is really just a biased point of view.  I also think that an elephant is better because I think they are wiser than mammoths and more like humans. They both have tusks and a trunk and are a lot alike.  Mammoths can adjust to a cold environment and are woolly, but I still like elephants better.
