Posted November 2, 2009 at 10:14 PM (Answer #1) dislike4like The major disadvantages of industrialization fall into two categories: social and environmental.
Environmentally, industrialization both pollutes the environment and depletes its resources. Industry requires huge amounts of inputs such as ores and petroleum for fuel. Its outputs (in the form of waste chemicals and such) are major pollutants.
Socially, industrialization changes a country in many ways. Typically, there comes to be less security for workers, and less continuity with the past. People move to cities, breaking family ties. Time is more regimented, making it harder to observe traditional festivals.
These are but a few examples...
