Question

select the correct answer.
which example is one of a negative social change brought on by technology?
a. the development of modern factories increased the rates of unemployment
b. the development of modern factories decreased the rates of migration to cities
c. the development of communication devices created a new platform for communication
d. the development of communication devices made it easier for humans to communicate

Explanation:

To determine the negative social change, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Modern factory development (e.g., automation) can replace human labor, increasing unemployment, which is negative.
• Option B: Decreasing migration to cities is not necessarily negative and doesn't align with typical modern factory impacts.
• Option C: New communication platforms are positive (e.g., connectivity).
• Option D: Easier human communication is positive.

So, A is the negative social change from technology.

Answer:

A. the development of modern factories increased the rates of unemployment
