Question

List three ways colonial society differed from modern day society

Answer 1

The structure of the colonial society, on the one hand, was pyramid type. In this type, the top position was acquired by the most powerful and wealthy people and the bottom position was given to the slaves. On the other hand, the Modern society became independent and liberal because of the advent of the new technologies during the era. At the same time, this resulted in the decline in the influence of the nation-state.The people of Colonial America grew their own food such as barley, wheat and corn, and raised their own animals. Whereas, in the Modern time's people get their food from supermarkets, which are pre- processed from the factories. Now, there are restaurants which serve cooked food and even they deliver it if asked. While the Colonists valued Education, they made it compulsory only for boys. On the other hand, the Modern time education is mandatory for both girls and boys, irrespective of gender.
