Why do people change once they live in Town?

Question

Many of people I know change, because they simply lived in country and can do anything once in town. No ethics, no respect. What is your point of view?

Answer 1

Briefly, because the real reasons would fill a book, there are 2 major reasons.

1. They moved there because the WANTED to change. They wanted to change everything.

2. Once there, they found it was possible to change a lot - they sky is the limit - however, found that once on that Town treadmill, to survive means more change than they ever thought possible. They get involved in the excitement of the survival -in -the -city life, and it is VERY exciting, pushing the limits further and further.

At some point, they either become someone else with only a shell of what used to be, or find a balance after going to far and take the best of both worlds. Then, there are those who just dive in and never return. That is a lack of basic character as opposed to the ones who go overboard on a temporary basis.

Believe me, change is quite necessary and even good for most who make this transition.

Answer 2

I find in a lot of cases that when someone has grown up constrained in some way, they tend to go a bit crazy when they are free of that constraint. I'm thinking of friends of mine who grew up in very strict households here. When the went away to college- whew. I don't know when they found the time to sleep, what with the drinking and the screwing around and the sobering up to go to class.

Maybe that's the case of people going from a rural area into an urban area? I don't know, though, because I haven't actually seen this. Most of my country-raised friends either yearned for the wide open spaces of their youth and went back as soon as they could, or they adjusted happily to city life. Perhaps it's not that they've gone crazy, but that they've had to become urbanites. Urban mores are different than country ones. Not better, not worse, just different. For instance, you have to be a lot more careful in a city. A city dweller is much less likely to smile at a stranger, or offer to help them out. It's not disrespect or rudeness, although it would be in the country. It's safety- you never know when you're going to get the gun-wielding lunatic. Also, life is a lot more fast-paced, because there are a lot more distractions. For instance, I call people to renew subscriptions for work. Someone from the Midwest is a lot more willing to chat with me than a New Yorker or a DCite is. It's not that the New Yorkers aren't nice people; it's just that so many people demand their attention that they have to cut the nonessential people short just to have time.

Well, it's tough living in a big city - the noise and dirt fray your nerves, not to mention the added vulnerability. You kinda lose your sense of who you are - no one to talk to, everyone on the fast track. You tell yourself you'd better get down to the business of becoming a success, and you start chasing the almighty dollar. Happens to lots of people, unfortunately.

I moved plenty wen i became into little, yet i became into raised in this small village next to this city,a pleasing place crammed with existence and exhilaration, around became into mountains and rivers yet jobs became a difficulty so human beings all abandoned the village slowly and moved to the city, then my young ones living house became into used for the fire branch as a coaching floor, so as that they extraordinarily plenty set the living house on fire and now there are only ruins there. and the comparable element will ensue to city next to the ruins if human beings shop going to that city for jobs

Answer 5

maybe because once you live in a town... you loose respect because it's quick and no one has time for anybody, and in a counrty everyone is closer together and know each other more.
