As the society constantly changes and undergoes the route of modernization, it has brought us progress and downfall.

A number of progress in technology made everything convenient, like the development of infrastructures, maximizing healthcare resources, and easier access to education. However, increased environmental disruptions (climate change, plastic wastes, etc.) serves as a consequence of this advancement.

The benefits and drawbacks of modernization

# data[].attributes.body
There are various advantages and disadvantages of modernization that can affect all of us in a lot of ways. So here is my perspective of what these changes are:

Benefits:
Modernization has helped us flourish our knowledge in technology. There are different gadgets that can help us especially in connecting with one another or through communication. In this time of the pandemic, it has been hard for us to cope but with modernization, we have developed ways how to communicate with one another through apps, our work has been easier through the development of technology and this has also been the key for a better way of education.

Drawbacks:
One of the drawbacks that I can consider is that pollution has been worse because of the developing technology that affects nature. The traditions and cultures can also be forgotten through modernization which is sad because it is our history and it is passed down through different generations. Lastly, negativity seems to also increase especially in social media platforms wherein there are more instances of bullying, and instead of connecting with other people, some, abuse our technology which leads to a negative perspective or it could also lead to serious mental problems.

Modernization is closely attributed to urban and industrial growth. Cities grew as economic and cultural capitals during the twentieth century, and new technology altered practically every aspect of life. Despite the apparent benefits of modernity, some individuals are concerned, rightfully so, about the long-term impact it will have on countries and people.

Modernization, on the one hand, has aided the creation of new means of artistic expression, such as film and television. These forms are readily attainable and viewable from anywhere in the globe. Modernization, on the other hand, may result in a loss of culture. Non-Western nations have abandoned traditional rituals and values as a result of the spread of Western culture. Even languages are disappearing as urbanization drives individuals to adopt the main language of a nation.

In a modernized society, natural resources such as wood, water, and oil are often processed, and countless skyscrapers and factories begin to alter the environment. These has lead to  climate change and other environmental issues that are outcomes of industrial production and development.

Modernization has helped our society in countless ways. We are able to perform certain tasks easier and in a more efficient way, it requires less work and who doesn't want that? Although the fact that it makes our lives easier also shows how it has its disadvantages. We tend to show and apply less effort into something, we are being taught to entertain our laziness and unproductiveness. Modernization is neither good nor bad, but it depends on us on how we use it.

Modernization can give us a big convenience, especially in social media sites. We will have easy access to communication, makes lives easier and a huge improvement in technology overall. In every improvement there will be also huge drawbacks such as more complicated things for some people to comprehend, more threats and our current problems will also worsen such as lack of jobs.

Modernization as part of Social Change; Advantages and Disadvantages

# data[].attributes.body
Advantages: It improves the new technical advancements in the field of transportation, or communication. Allowing us to reach people from afar. Improvements in human well-being as well, in areas such as health, education, safety, cities, work, standard of living and leisure.

Disadvantages: A negative impact on our society, is when it gives energy-intensive equipment that contributes to air pollution and climate change. Additionally when in traditional communities, modernization shatters the social bonds that bind people together. It may also in a way, increase ego-ism and cravings for more earnings and luxuries.

Advantages -

The modernization helped us see and dream for better living, better house, better life style and it directly directed towards education. Better and higher education is normally considered to be the base to fulfil the dreams through a better job and hence better earning.

Disadvantages -

Modernization brings technology that consumes energy and leads to such things as air pollution and climate change. Another negative effect is (arguably) on our society. Modernization breaks up the social ties that bound people together in traditional societies.

Individuals become increasingly important as societies modernize, gradually replacing the family, and community, as the basic unit of society. It has done us a lot of goods but we gotta see both sides of it. Disadvantages like, spoiling good values and ethics of life, and forgetting originality of human culture and life style can occur.
