Social progress is the idea that a society can work on improving their social, political and economic structures. It can either be through human action, naturally or through social activism.

Their ideas on sociology have shown a great progress in the society and social sciences and they reflect one another. Comte is the founding father of sociology seconded by Herbert Spencer.

The trend has existed over the years and has evolved throughout the history thus forming part of human existence and survival. In additions, the use of artistic ...

“The Walking Man” (bronze, 7-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 5-1/4 feet) is part of a period of sculpture that arose after his completion of The Burghers of Calais and Monument to Honore de Balzac.

Modern in its almost impressionistic provision of a glimpse at a part of a person, instead of a realistic rendering of a whole identity, “The Walking Man” not only comments on the restlessness of man in the twentieth century (if not throughout all time), it also derives power from the sheer energy ...
