Abstract: Abstract The rapid growth of material and information transmission is a prominent feature of modern society. The rise of public transportation and communication has led to the modern social industrial structure and is an important symbol distinguishing modern from medieval society. Shipping, communication, railways, and the postal service represent the “weapons” of modern transportation. The development of modern transportation and communication is closely related to the military and conducive to becoming a modern economy. Therefore, the emergence thereof cannot be stopped. In their discussion on modern transportation and communication, the Westernizationists focused on the significance of economic development, and how to plan and manage related aspects.
