The fruits of modernity are self-evident, and modern men and women experience these fruits in their everyday lives - when they go to the pharmacy to pick up antibiotics, when they fly halfway around the world on a jet aircraft, when they turn up the heat in their home during the winter and so on. Though human beings have a tendency to romanticize the past, only true reactionaries - for instance, religious fundamentalists - fail to acknowledge or completely reject the obvious benefits of progress.
Most people would agree that progress is a good thing, and few would deny that there has been extraordinary progress over the course of human history, or that human existence has improved in innumerable ways during the modern era.
