Some people prefer to live in the small town where they grew up in and some prefer the big city, where there’s tons of excitement and plenty of things to do. Small towns are secluded, stress-free, and traditional for some. There are plenty of advantages of living in a small town compared then living in a big city. Living in a quiet, friendly environment where you know all of your neighbors because most of you grew up together. People never have to worry about crime happening or something serious because the community would help each other when they are in need. Living around the same people most of your life, you eventually become one big family. Like my mom says, “In a small town you’re one big family, but in a large city you’re just a face in a sea of faces.” You’ll never feel lonely when you have zero to do …show more content…
One of the conditions that helps us to be healthy is good weather and less population. Living in a place with less pollution such as air pollution helps us to have a healthier life that leads to less stress and more happiness. Big cities have big factories everywhere polluting the air from thousands of cars and making different things. We don’t realize how much stuff we’re breathing in, like smog and fumes from car exhaust. Small towns have barely any factories and not as many cars driving around as cities. The people of the town actually care about having weather that is fresh, trees that are green with a lot of oxygen. They also care about watering plants and growing things in their seasons. Living in small towns can make life easier and simple. Towns have traditions that are passed down from generations to generations. For example, in some towns most people go to the Friday night football game at the town’s only high school. It’s a way to see old classmates and have a nice family night. Everyone has different preferences but to me small towns allows you to enjoy the little things in

    Throughout my life I have lived in three cultural distinct regions Lima Peru, White Plains New York and Baltimore Maryland. For the first two years of my life I lived in Lima, Peru and even though I never culturally adapted myself into the culture I would often visit for months and immerse myself into the culture.

    In many ways I am glad that I grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Negaunee is a town of 4,600 and everyone knows each others names and business. It is easy to get a label and hard to get rid of one. There are many downfalls of growing up in a small town, such as lack of diversity, opportunity and privacy as well as extremely cold, long winters. I think that the benefits are different for everyone.…

    This document details the request from many townsmen of Concord to put an article for the erection of new stables on public land, specifically the Common, upon the Sabbath in the warrant for the town meeting for the month of May. This document was written April 10, 1773, one month before the desired request would be discussed at town meeting. It is addressed directly to the selectmen of the town of Concord and signed “your humble servants” as a sign of respect, and has the signatures of several men on the bottom showing evidence for a desire for more stables. Several of these signatures are from the Wheeler family, a prominent family in early Concord with lineage tracing back to it’s founding. This document was written during a transitional period in American history, when the colonies, and especially Massachusetts, were slowly considering going to war with their oppressive governing body, the Kingdom of England.…

    People in small town communities take care of, and depend upon, each other to a greater extent. The stereotypical Bible-thumper that I was warned about, in reality, is much more helpful and a lot less judgmental than I was told. Although this close-knit type of culture can be somewhat suspicious of outsiders, and even more so for Yankee outsiders, once you get to know them, and are able to break through their own stereotypes, you both realize that we have more in common than we do…

    I went into the performance of Independence not knowing anything about the piece, but once the play started I was able to relate to the characters in many ways. The piece was set in a small town in Iowa, much like where I’m from, and it explored the difficulties of aging families, something nearly everyone will experience. I thought the actors did a very nice job working together to portray this family, and it got me thinking about my family and myself. Comparing the characters to myself evoked many thoughts about my family, and if small town life is what my future holds. One idea presented in the piece was parents and families growing older, eventually causing a family member to sacrifice something, to take care of their parents when the…

    By live in the big city like New York, I could understand more about the culture and lifestyle, also how the people live in there too.
