In this chapter, we will discuss people who live in big cities who go to theatres, attend concerts, visit Restaurants and Clubs, and browse bookstores, shop at shopping malls, or other large departmental stores.
These activities fill them with culture and sophistication.
Also, they crowd into jammed trains or buses, squeeze into packed elevators, cross the street in competition with high-powered Cars and bikes, patiently stand in line outside the movie theatres and then wait again in the lobby for seats to be vacated. Also, they have the privilege of spending many hours a day going to and coming from work.
As a result, city-dwellers are more refined, polished and sophisticated
And some people live a laid-back life far away from the hustle and bustle of the city
They sometimes lack social grace and are considered unsophisticated and uncultured people
