In this case, they are not even at the level of the industrial society. Therefore, an answer would have to consider both aspects. The advantages for an individual living in the agrarian society are the freedom of the being. Aside from its philosophical content, the expression points out the fact that people living in agrarian societies were more part of a society that those living today because they still had the human element in their character. The constant interdependent relationship was necessary and connected people more. The disadvantage was, surely, the lack of possibilities, and the limited technology available which made their lives tougher.

The post industrial society however is by far the society which offers the most advantages, as well as disadvantages. The advantages include communication, online education, the Internet, world trade, the globalization of exchanges, and economic development. China has benefited greatly from technology as it is now considered to be one of the most important powers in the world, economically and technologically. In turn, its society also changed, and is now more...

The major disadvantage of post industrial societies is the inequality globalization as the main expression of the post industrial society is constantly creating. The free trade and the facilitation of transportation around the world enable countries to exploit one another, and more often, allow corporations to exploit poor countries. Thus, the existing discrepancies between Western Europe and the U.S. And regions in Africa or Asia are a crucial disadvantage of the post industrial societies.
This major disadvantage can rarely be countered in poor countries. India for instance relies on its massive labor force to keep up with technology-based economies. However, it does not have the same effect and soon the competition will have weakened. By comparison, China's society on the whole is a mix of massive labor force and technology. Thus, it can benefit from both a large population as well as a technological-based economy which has succeeded so far to the extent in which it is now the main competitor of the U.S.'s and EU's economies.
