What Would the Advances in Society be?

   You've seen these timelines outlining the advances in science. What if we were to try to put one together outlining the advances in society?

   For one thing, it wouldn't be as definitive. Some would say the recent acceptance of same-sex attraction is an advancement, while others would argue against it. Some would put public schools as an advancement. Others would not. 

   And, when it comes to advances in society, sometimes societies advance, only to then decline. The advances tend to not be as permanent as they are with science. Further, while one country might progress in building a better society, that does not so readily translate into other countries adopting the same advances.

   Still, it would be fun to see what would be on such a timeline. Has anyone ever compiled one? I do a quick  glance with a word search and find nothing. No time to look further. Off to bed.
