IX. HUMAN NATURE AND CITY LIFE

The city is remaking human nature and each city is producing its own type of personality. These influences of city life are of prime interest to the sociologist. The materials bearing on this question are not primarily those collected by the scientist, but by the artist. It requires insight and imagination to perceive and to describe these deep-seated changes which are being wrought in the nature of man himself.

1. The division of labor and the fine specialization of occupations and professions that is so distinctly characteristic of city life has brought into existence a new mode of thought and new habits and attitudes which have transformed man in a few generations. The city man tends to think less in terms of locality than he does in terms of occupation. In a sense he has become an adjunct of the machine which he operates and the tools he uses. His interests are organized around his occupation, and his status and mode of life is determined by it.

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.

3. The medium through which man is influenced and modified in the city is the intricate system of communication. The urban system of communication takes on a special form. It is not typically the primary, but the secondary, contact that it produces. The public opinion that is built up in the city and the morale and _ésprit de corps_ growing out of it relies on such typical media as the newspaper rather than the gossip monger; the telephone and the mails rather than the town meeting. The characteristic urban social unit is the occupational group rather than the geographical area.

4.)

4. The final product of the city environment is found in the new types of personality which it engenders. Here the latent energies and capacities of individuals find expression and locate themselves within the range of a favorable milieu. This possibility of segregating one’s self from the crowd develops and accentuates what there is of individuality in the human personality. The city gives an opportunity to men to practice their specialty vocationally and develop it to the utmost degree. It provides also the stimulus and the conditions which tend to bring out those temperamental and psychological qualities within the individual through the multiple behavior patterns which it tolerates.

X. THE CITY AND THE COUNTRY

The city and the country represent two opposite poles in modern civilization. The difference between the two is not merely one of degree, but of kind. Each has its own peculiar type of interests, of social organization, and of humanity. These two worlds are in part antagonistic and in part complementary to each other. The one influences the life of the other, but they are by no means equally matched. The analysis of these differences, antagonisms, and interacting forces has not passed even the descriptive stage.

1. The ancient city was regarded as a parasitic growth. It dominated the country by skill and by force, but contributed little to its welfare. The modern city, too, is often regarded as a superfluous burden which the rural sections are carrying. This view of the matter is fast passing away, however, as the city extends its influence, not by force, but by fulfilling a set of functions upon which the rural population has become dependent. The economists have been especially concerned with the antagonistic interests which the city and the country have presented. These antagonisms have come to play a political rôle which influences local, national, and international affairs.

2. As a result of city life new forms of social organization have been developed which are foreign to the country. The family, the neighborhood, the community, the state have become transformed by city needs into new institutions with a different organization and with a different set of functions. The social processes that characterize rural life do not apply in the city. A new moral order has developed which is fast breaking down the precedents of an earlier epoch of civilization.

3. The rustic and the urbanite not only show certain fundamental differences in personality, but the variations found in the city far exceed the country, and the rate at which new types are constantly being created in the city far exceeds that of the country. The rural man still is to a great extent the product of the nature which surrounds him, while the urbanite has become a part of the machine with which he works, and has developed as many different species as there are techniques to which he is devoted. The attitudes, the sentiments, the life organization of the city man are as different from the country man as those of the civilized man are from the primitive. As the city extends its influence over the country the rural man is also being remade, and ultimately the differences between the two may become extinguished.

XI. THE STUDY OF THE CITY

Attempts to understand the city and city life have resulted in two types of studies. On the one hand there are the investigations into special phases of the subject, and on the other are a number of systematic, generally co-operative, scientific approaches to the city as a whole. The increased attention which the city has been receiving at the hands of various types of experts has brought into existence a number of organizations and institutions which regularly occupy themselves with the collection of information relating to the city. This has given rise to a number of technical journals which are of great importance to the student of the city.

1. There are available at the present time a number of fairly exhaustive systematic studies of various cities. In most instances they represent the combined efforts of many students, extending over a period of years, to explore the realms of urban life in diverse parts of the world, generally with a definite objective in view. Only a few of such studies have been listed under this category.

2. The social survey is not only a technique which has been employed to study the urban community, but has grown into a movement of considerable proportions. From another standpoint the social survey may also be regarded as a means of control. Many of the “surveys” are merely single investigations of administration, housing, justice, education, recreation, in urban and rural communities, carried on by the group itself or by some outside experts called in for the purpose. Others are highly integrated studies of the community in all its phases. There is a tendency at the present time for systematic social research to take the place of the social survey in the study of community life. The latter emphasizes diagnosis and treatment, while the former strives to develop methods of disinterested research into various aspects of city life.

“Wenn wir daher das Wort [Natur] als einen logischen Terminus in der
Wissenschaftslehre gebrauchen wollen, so werden wir sagen dürfen, dass
Natur die Wirklichkeit ist mit Rücksicht auf ihren gesetzmässigen
Zusammenhang. Diese Bedeutung finden wir z. B. in dem Worte
Naturgesetz. Dann aber können wir die Natur der Dinge auch das nennen
was in die Begriffe eingeht, oder am kürzesten uns dahin ausdrücken:
die Natur ist die Wirklichkeit mit Rücksicht auf das Allgemeine. So
gewinnt dann das Wort erst eine logische Bedeutung” (H. Rickert, _Die

As indicated later on in this paper, ecological formations tend to
develop in cyclic fashion. A period of time within which a given
ecological formation develops and culminates is the time period for
that particular formation. The length of these time periods may be
ultimately measured and predicted, hence the inclusion of the temporal
element in the definition.

Footnote 33:

community to other communities, also the location of the individual or
institution within the community itself.

Footnote 37:

Brunhes points out by a series of maps the very intimate relation
between the distribution of human habitations and the water systems of
different countries. He also demonstrates the relation of the modern
industrial community to the regions of coal deposits.

Footnote 38:

The close relation existing between the coal and iron areas and the
location of modern industrial communities has frequently been pointed
out. L. C. A. Knowles says: “Apart from special and exceptional
circumstances industry in Europe and the United States tends to grow
up within easy railway access to the great coal areas and on these
areas the population is massed in towns” (_The Industrial and
Commercial Revolutions in Great Britain during the Nineteenth
Century_, p. 24).

Footnote 39:

To be sure, if the interests in question are commercialized, the
growth of the community is subject to the same laws of competition as
the other types of communities, with the exception that change is
likely to be more rapid and fanciful.

Footnote 64:

Archbishop E. J. Hanna, head of the Catholic diocese of California,
recently, during the drouth on the Pacific Coast, issued formal
instructions to the pastors of all Catholic churches to offer the
following prayer immediately after mass: “O God, in whom we live and
move and are, grant us seasonal rain that we, enjoying a sufficiency
of support in this life, may with more confidence strive after things
eternal.”—From _Los Angeles Evening Herald_, January 17, 1924.

Footnote 65:

Thomas and Znaniecki, _The Polish Peasant in Europe and America_
(Boston, 1918), I, 3: “The oldest but most persistent form of social
technique is that of ‘ordering-and-forbidding’—that is, meeting a
crisis by an arbitrary act of will decreeing the disappearance of the
undesirable or the appearance of the desirable phenomena, and the
using arbitrary physical action to enforce the decree. This method
corresponds exactly to the magical phase of natural technique. In
both, the essential means of bringing a determined effect is more or
less consciously thought to reside in the act of will itself by which
the effect is decreed as desirable, and of which the action is merely
an indispensable vehicle or instrument; in both, the process by which
the cause (act of will and physical action) is supposed to bring its
effect to realization remains out of reach of investigation.”

Footnote 66:

The following telegram was recently in the _San Francisco Bulletin_:
“Stanford University, Jan. 24, 1924—Stanford has established what is
termed a unique course in the curriculum of western universities. It
teaches scientific yell-leading, according to the rally committee,
which sponsors the course. The course is open to sophomores only.
Practices will be held in Encina gymnasium.”
