Introduction: In recent decades, human life has developed so fast that people are not always able to notice the difference. Progress has different definitions; one of the most popular definitions of progress is to move forward and develop. Human progress is the idea that the world and human beings improve in terms of science, technology, freedom, modernization, democracy, quality of life… Nowadays, people can see progress in different aspects of life such as industry, l agriculture, communication. I agree with Becker that “a cultural construct invented for all practical purposes in the Renaissance” for the advancement of capitalist propaganda and that progress is nothing more than a useful cultural myth promoting “the idea of ​​regular improvement and eternal nature of the human condition, largely through exploitation.” of nature and the acquisition of material goods”. Although many people think that progress is a good thing, I think that progress is not always good as it has many negative effects on society, the environment and the economy. Purpose: to draw readers' attention to the negative effects of human progress on humanity. human beings live without denying their advantages and changing people's mentality regarding the concept of progress where development cannot always mean making their lives happier. Limitations: Due to the limited scope of this article, I have limited my essay to the negative effects of technology on society, the environment, and economy, and not on transportation, drugs, or education...... half of document ...... explaining some of the effects of progress on society, the environment and the economy, it is obvious that progress is not always good. Progress always has two sides, positive and negative, for example when Einstein was creating the atomic bomb he wasn't thinking about the catastrophe that this bomb would cause in Hiroshima, he was instead thinking about progress. Progress depends on the cultural level of the people who use the results of progress. In the future people will have to be reasonable and vigilant and try to help prevent the negative effects of this progress. We must keep human development in the right perspective. The present, with all its imperfections, is only an improvement on the past. Therefore, understanding and appreciating the progress humanity has made does not mean we stop trying to make the future even better than the present.
