Isaac Santos                                                                                                                                       “Every generation needs a new revolution”   –Thomas Jefferson                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Progress is usually expected to follow the passing of time. History gives society the benefit of learning from its mistakes as well as how to build upon successes. Every once in a while one will find that one’s current generation is somehow void or logically wrong/outdated. Then, of course, you’ll also encounter the occasional corrupt government and a new sense of morality. Society’s standard is built upon opinions and point of views. This means that the standard is never a constant throughout history because it is consistently changing. This standard influences everything from one’s personal life to the changing of core aspects of society that define who we are as a people. Every generation can always find room to evolve because the nature of humanity’s standard allows it to. Not only is this true, but it is also a necessity for each generation to have its own revolution because society is defined by its own actions. If these actions are recycled, then there is no room for improvement. One can never be satisfied with the status quo. We must be pioneers, pushing ourselves to the limit.
