Westernization is a process where societies adopt Western culture in areas such as industry. Modernization is the process of social change when less developed societies gain features common to more developed societies.
Countries throughout the world adopted the idea of mass vehicle production with the use of the assembly line. Ultimately, the assembly line was used in a wide variety of corporations, from making toys to packaging cereal. The move from the US to Asian countries demonstrates both westernization and modernization. Not long after Ford perfected his vehicle assembly line, Asian countries also began to use them. This demonstrates westernization because an idea that was developed in the US (a Western country) began to be used in Asian countries, thus adopting Western industry. Similarly, the shift from being solely in the US to being in Asia also shows modernization. Asian countries were considered to be less developed societies than the US, and by adopting features of the US, they were becoming more modern.
