Abstract

This paper is aiming to raise the awareness of the readers to think about the world they are living in and encourages them to effectively se­pa­rate the progression from regression. The wri­­ting is based on analysis of the pictures which accurate­ly help the reader to get the ma­in points and ideas. Nothing can be more effect­tive and obvious for people to get the right point then an immediate visual reference.  By re­ferring to the different works or sayings of Aristotle, Plato, Einstein and Goodfrey-Reggio I tried to highlight and bring the attention of the audience to the actual dangers that exist in our world that can very soon cause a dissolution of human race, because of ongoing progression and greediness. People always tend to progress and get much more civilized then they are and on their way they never take a mo­ment to think about the side effects and regres­sive con­seq­uen­­ces. The success causes blindness and ma­kes people more avaricious. Accordingly, we need to take a pause and by analyzing all of the nega­tive side-effects of ongoing progression try to save the planet from being destroyed.
