Question

Identify some of the fears of the moralists of the day who felt that industrialization would destroy family

Answer 1

Many moralists thought that the industrialization would destroy the family because before the manufacturing process the family worked together making clothing, food, products, textiles and wood products. With the industrial revolution, many factories were built, people who used to live in rural areas had to go to bigger cities - where the factories were located - so they could work. This way the family structure changed since the family had different jobs at different times, so they would not spend the whole day together as before.
