I was definitely taken back by that statement. Marginalized groups, for example, have always noted how cities offer increased isolation away from bigots as compared to smaller towns and rural areas. It may be a prevalent idea in academia, but I'm not sure anyone thinks that way on the streets.
- emanuele232 3y agoActually i do agree with the statement. I live near the biggest city in my state and my friends are different in ideas, political opinions and preferences (also kinda different in economic possibilities) due to the fact that we all went to the same highschool, and there are few places where the young can socialize. on the contrary my brother lives in that big city and its friends are ALL coming from the same cultural background, with the same ideas and the same political leaning (that he chooses during university)
- eitally 3y agoA lot of that has to do with the fact that you chose your friend group during public high school and he chose his during university, which itself already selects for the upper socioeconomic statuses.
