In this post, I will discuss some of the concepts underlying the effects and repercussions of civilization and modernization on academic achievement in pupils.
To begin, civilization can be defined as the highest evolved level of human, social, and cultural development and organisation. The process of adapting anything to modern demands or habits is also known as modernization.
INTRODUCTION
Nobody can deny that modernization has had an impact on different aspects of people’s life. Education, communication, and even social connections have all undergone significant changes. Adolescents, on the other hand, are the most vulnerable to the negative impacts of modernity. Modernization has significantly altered adaptive models, and social relations have paved the path for abnormality. What’s more, teenagers prefer electronic entertainment and online learning, which both contribute to their isolation.
