People became self-centered and uncaring. Urbanization gave birth to an increase in the slum in the cities. Individualism increased which favored self-increment and not on the betterment of the society. Children were not allowed to imagine and live in the world of fancy. They were taught to live with logic and reason. This period saw the downfall of humanity in the history of mankind.
