A progressive, a person that believes every person has an intrinsic value therefore is worth saving. Progressive people find joy in the justice we see and dispair in the injustice all around them. A person that thinks progressivly tries to allow for cultural and ethnic differences, and walk a mile in the other persons shoes. Being a progressive means being willing to bend with the situation and exercising flexibility while maintaining their own values and beliefs. Finaly a person that professes this outlook, must be willing to realize we all must take a certain responsability for ourselves and others. RWB
