From the Paper:

"In this paper, the quote taken from Whitehead's book on noble discontent relies upon a quadruple set of factors that help human ideologies evolve over time. The historical ramifications of morality, beauty, duty, and critical thought effectively must be perceived through history, and through a gradual evolutionary process. Although ideologies may not always be practical, it is important to remember that through human evolution and advances, these ideas can be tested and eventually brought forth for greater enlightenment of the race.
