Question

Advantages of civilization and disadvantgaes

Answer 1

The most important advantage of civilization is specialisation. In a subsistence economy everyone must farm and produce food to feed themselves and their family. When you spend all day farming you have no time to do very specialised tasks.

Civilization has made us dull in our finer feelings. It has plucked mystery and romance out of the heart of nature and destroyed her beauty and magic. When an uncivilized man beheld a rainbow in the sky, he felt a thrill of joy.

His heart leapt up. But to a civilized man with a scientific outlook, a rainbow is nothing but a refraction of the rays of the sun through drops of water and no cause for the dancing of the heart. Civilization has made us forget that man does not live by bread alone.
