Lets start with the negative:

Some Negative Consequences of Volcanoes
Gas
Lahars
Landslides
Lava Flows
Pyroclastic Flows
Tephra
Evacuating people from a volcanic region
Cleaning up and rebuilding after an eruption
Loss of forestry
Destruction of property
Tsunamis

As the world's population grows, more and more people are living in potentially dangerous volcanic areas. Volcanic eruptions continue--as they have throughout most of geologic time--posing ever-greater threats to life and property.

Mt. Rainier looms over the Seattle/Tacoma area, endangering a population of more than three million people. South of Mexico City, Popocatépetl has begun to come to life again, putting a million nearby residents at risk. Another million people living in the Naples area are threatened by Mt. Vesuvius' continued unrest. The need for planning is urgent.

Now for the good news:

Some Positive Consequences of Volcanoes:
Myths & legends about the volcano
Art or literature about the volcano
Rich volcanic soils for agriculture, forestry, etc.
Geothermal power
Hot springs and health spas
Hydroelectric power from rivers flowing off volcanoes
Tourism, recreation, or skiing around volcanoes
Sources for precious metals: diamonds, opals
Sources for metals: gold, silver, molybdenum, copper, zinc, lead, and mercury
Archaeological sites in a volcanic region
Granite for construction, cinder for athletic tracks, pumice, kitty litter, cleansers

The lifestyles of the new volcanoes are not too different. only thing they have a different plans for hazards such as eruptions that would not be needed say in eastern US.
