Progress as the Concern — All of the objective characters are concerned with determining how things are evolving.

For example, whether or not the number of people purchasing new cars per year is increasing; if medical conditions for unwed teenage mothers are improving; if DUI related accidents are becoming less often fatal; passing milestones in a race, etc. Exploring how things are going will illustrate progress as an objective story concern.
