In a social system, there are peers and strangers to distract one from pursuing their work. While chatting with others, you may forget your train of thought or a good idea. People are likely to take you away from your work more so than a physical system (in which you can always turn off the TV, but not get people to quiet down)
The industrial revolution impacted the environment. The world saw a major increase in population, along with an increase in living standards. This led to the depletion of natural resources. The use of chemicals and fuel in factories resulted in increased air and water pollution and an increased use of fossil fuels. With factories typically being heat based and burning coals, toxic waste would be built up and ultimately dumped into nearby rivers. Thus creating the pollution of water and air.
The Civil War occurred between the Southern and the Northern States primarily on the issue of Slave ownership and the economic consequences of ending slavery.
The economy of the Southern States were based on agriculture, which in turn, was based on cheap slave labor. For the farmers in the south, ending slavery could have meant ending their livelihood and hence, the issue was very dear to them.
On the other hand, the Northern States were more affluent and had a more industrial economy and hence, they could support ending slavery.
Advantages:
The biggest advantage of the Civil War was the subsequent freedom for all slaves across the United States. After the civil war ended it eventually paved the way for a civil rights movement which after a 100 years was able to provide universal suffrage.
Disadvantages:
The huge loss of life could have been avoided. Many women were left widowed and many children were orphaned.
It also left a rift between the northern and southern states, which till this day, sporadically spurs into the public.
