In Bogg's "Nothing is more important than thinking Dialectically", she highlights the idea that the idea of what is progressive changes over time. I agree with this idea but I also think that progressive ideas in fact progress to the point where as time moves forward, the world becomes more and more liberal. I find this concept interesting because historically, this idea seems to hold true. The idea that one day a black man would become president of the United States would seem impossible in the 1800's. Yet in 2008, it became a reality. The question that I would pose is whether or not there is a point where liberalism and progressive ideas will reach a plateau and in essence become obsolete?
Here is a video regarding liberalism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7rHGydPFjY
