The Twelfth Doctor believed that the value of any given society was truly measured by the value it placed on a life, in particular one without privilege. His view of progress was one which considered how a culture treated those in the lowest rungs of their society, rather than focusing on mere industry or wealth. (TV: Thin Ice) "The boy who died on the river — that boy's value is your value. That's what defines an age. That's what defines a species."
