Progressivism

A wheel with wings is often a symbol of progress

The idea of progress is the belief that human society gets better and better over time.[1] Progressivism is a kind of politics based on social progress.[2] It is also a philosophical movement. Progress started being supported by many philosophers in the Age of Enlightenment.[3][4] They believed that new inventions and scientific discoveries would make people's lives better.

Progressivism often supports reforms and change. It is related to liberalism and egalitarianism.
