To say the truth, I think advances in technology, increase in total wealth, and greater health and happiness in all people are all good ways to measure the improvement in social progress. I think to measure the progress, it's better to mix or find the average of the three. Out of the three choices, I would say that I think the health and happiness of all people are the most important. The reason that the advances in technology and increase in wealth are important is that they both make people happy. However, since it is hard to measure the happiness of people, I think the best way to measure social progress is through the increase in total wealth. When people have money, they can buy things that they want or go to the doctor when they are sick. People can buy electronic devices to improve their lives and to make themselves happy.
In conclusion, although happiness is the most important thing, it is better to measure the social progress by measuring the increase in total wealth.
