URBAN LIFE Culture notes
A. However, in both the USA 1 the UK (as in other
countries), there is a marked difference in attitude
between urban and rural residents. Country folk are
often considered to be more conservative and less
cultured by their city counterparts.
B. In the West there is a rather romantic view of living
in the country. The growth of huge cities is not
necessarily linked to progress and the UN has said
there are over one billion people living in city slums
around the world. So those living in the city who
can afford it have an additional “weekend” home
in the country
C. This is to escape the stress, pollution
and growing crime rate. Others work in the city
prefer a long commute each day so they can live in the
country.
