How do you think individual well-being is connected to the well-being of the community?

 @9K9CYW5 from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

When a community is doing well, the people in it are doing well, but ONLY if the people in the community reach out and interact with one another.

 @9KHRMQS from North Carolina  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Although a community is doing well from the outside, those other than the people in the community themselves is allowed to determine how their community is doing.

The community and local government serves the individual to have a better well-being. Not the other way around.

 @9HFKHMP from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes because younger generations are on social media and always keep up with the changes in our society, and they can become influenced or influence others.

 @9HFKJ55 from Kentucky  answered…2yrs2Y

Anyone can be progressive, it's a choice, not something you're born into, and this will change society for the better.

Social determinants of health have shown us that when people have more access, resources, community, and support, they do better in life

 @9K9C58T from California  answered…2yrs2Y

I just feel like everybody should have a voice about each individuals situation to progress further in each community.

 @9K9BXT9 from Oklahoma  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9K9BWTFDemocrat from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

I think what is good for future generations is good for the present. We will, or our children will, eventually be around to benefit. We need to play more for the future than the here and now.

How can young people today contribute to progressive causes in a meaningful way?

 @9H92W2X from Tennessee  answered…2yrs2Y

By educating themselves with non bias sources in order to greater understand their progressives ideals.

 @9H942Z8 from Texas  commented…2yrs2Y

and to actively stand up against injustice, if they refuse to listen and continue to push back then thats when violence should be considered. If violence is all they speak, then we should speak their language.

 @9H92X6X from Idaho  answered…2yrs2Y

The young people of today can contribute to progressive clauses in a meaningful way by staying involved in their communities and continuing to work for/under those who they look up too at the jobs that they are genuinely passionate about.

 @9H92RBK from California  answered…2yrs2Y

That everyone has a house, food and medicine instead of getting exploited for profit, especially in a lot of party in africa or asia. Europe & the US has a lot of responsibility for that and what happens right now is almost like the colonies a few years ago

 @9HH6R46Working Family from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

How money is distributed and prices because for the poor people or low income, it is almost impossible to change or make it be the opposite.

How would you tackle the challenge of balancing individual rights with the common good in a progressive society?

 @9HH6R46Working Family from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

By working for healthier and more effective solutions , as well as LISTENING to what people need

 @9HFL9BJ from California  answered…2yrs2Y

I stand on the side of offering as many rights to an individual person as possible un-impeded.

 @9HFL5H2Republican from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

I believe that balancing individual rights needs to be placed before the common good of a progressive society.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What is one belief you hold that you consider progressive, and how did you come to value it?

 @9HFK2CW from North Dakota  answered…2yrs2Y

Individuals should be allowed to make decisions on their own bodies, because it is a basic human right and perpetuates respect towards our United State's citizens.

 @9JRS5V4 from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

A historical event that I think offers lessons for progressive movements today are social justice and minimum wage.

 @9JR6NV4 from Arizona  answered…2yrs2Y

Slavery and women's sufferage were two of the most important and life-changing events at the beginning of our nation.

 @9JR6SXJ from Oklahoma  answered…2yrs2Y

The progressivism of the early twentieth century. We need to get back to the trust busting and monopoly toppling of Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How does diversity and inclusion fit into your vision of a progressive future?

 @9HFKTRV from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

My philosophy states "I do not care what or who you recognize yourself as. As long as you respect, I'll respect you."

 @9HFLJH9 from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

I think it is a big part of a progressive future but it should be achieved naturally instead of inflating diversity through media because that just skews reality and makes the united states seem more diverse than it is.

 @9HFKVM6Democrat from New Hampshire  answered…2yrs2Y

I think it is very iportant to include everyone as we are. We are all human.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How can we measure the success of progressive policies, and what benchmarks would you use?

 @9HFKTPH from New Hampshire  answered…2yrs2Y

1. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They
have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but
they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to
indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical
suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued
development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to

What's a local issue that you believe requires a progressive approach, and how would you address it?

The best way to be a progressive is to avoid thinking you can fix things. Let the market work and Humans will advance.

 @9HWJ3ZPPeace and Freedom from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

I think the way we as Americans treat immigrants, is that they are aliens and dont have blood running through their veins and a heart pumping in their chest just like us.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

In your opinion, is environmental protection a central aspect of progressivism, and why?

 @9H4J4TZWomen’s Equality from Georgia  answered…3yrs3Y

Progressivism extends its principles to a global context, acknowledging the interconnectedness of environmental issues worldwide. Addressing global challenges such as climate change and ecological degradation is seen as a shared responsibility.

 @9H4HTSFanswered…3yrs3Y

Environmental protection is central to progressivism because it speaks to having an appreciation for the environment and a sense of human obligation in doing what we can do to preserve the environment for generations to come.

 @9H498QY from Florida  answered…3yrs3Y

Environmental protection is something all can agree on. However, the kind of policies proposed by progressives are without benefit, and massively counterproductive. Carbon labels in the earth's atmosphere are almost completely unaffected by industrial burning, and are not significantly responsible for the earth's heat retention. The vast majority of the greenhouse effect is achieved by water vapor. Climate change alarmists are completely without basis for their predictions of disaster, which always turn out to be wrong. And there is nothing that wastes more resources than climate…  Read more

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Which historical figure do you think best represents the ideals of progressivism, and why?

 @9HFLTZWanswered…2yrs2Y

Martin Luther King Jr because he talks about how he had a dream that one day as the U.S. progresses that their will be equality for all.

 @9HFLK8QDemocratanswered…2yrs2Y

I think Abraham Lincoln or Jacob Riis as progressive, because they both helped make life better for millions of individuals.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Would you be willing to sacrifice some conveniences for the sake of progressive reforms, and to what extent?

Does the idea of progress imply that some people's ways of life must change, and is that fair?

 @9H8Z7LV from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

"Progress" is not always an uphill climb. Sometimes, change is not the right thing.

 @9H8YSDJanswered…2yrs2Y

No, progressivism is the continued evolution of a country and its ability to continue giving its citizens protections and services.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What everyday actions can contribute to making the workplace more inclusive and fair?

 @9HXHRJT from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

One major benefit of progressivism in the workplace is increasing equal opportunities and inclusion.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What sacrifices do you think are necessary to achieve greater social equity and are they worth it?

 @9K9CWCM from Arizona  answered…2yrs2Y

Some sacrifices that are necessary to achieve greater social equity include, civil service reforms, food safety laws, and increased political rights for women and U.S. workers.
