2. There is a city mentality which is clearly differentiated from the
rural mind. The city man thinks in mechanistic terms, in rational terms,
while the rustic thinks in naturalistic, magical terms. Not only does
this difference exist between city and country, it exists also between
city and city, and between one area of the city and another. Each city
and each part of the city furnishes a distinct social world to its
inhabitants, which they incorporate in their personality whether they
will or no.
