While the world should aim for peace and tolerance
Module 1 Discussion Board_Topics in Urban Sociology
Q The authors suggest that most of the time we do not consciously think about or identify the metropolitan region from which we come. What are some of the characteristics of the metropolitan region in which you grew up?
I grew up in the Wichita Falls area and have been blessed to belong to a friendly neighborhood. I would not agree that I do not identify with my metropolitan region because I have been greatly influenced by my surroundings and how we interacted. Having a culturally and socially diverse neighborhood, I learned to be respectful, tolerant, and proud to belong to times when there is acceptance among the residents. Our community reflected the mini version of the entire metropolitan, bustling with an active social life and activities.
