A progressive is someone who believes that society is an organism that matures, or evolves, much like an individual. Society’s evolution involves scientific discovery, technological advancements, open-minded intellectual honesty as well as spiritual or moral maturity. With this in mind, a progressive understands that the politics that govern society must also evolve to sustain a healthy balance in regards to domestic tranquility, international relations and environmental harmony. As such, the core values of progressives are universality, cooperation, individual and collective social responsibility, individual privacy and government transparency.
