In the essay, ‘The Metropolis and the Mental Life’ Georg Simmel investigate that what happens to people (a person or any individual) when they (he/she) live (lives) in cities, and how it relates to the “resistance of the individual to being demolished, absorbed in the social-technological mechanism.” And also explains how we as humans have adapted to the stimulus of the metropolitan life. He focuses more on to the interaction between people in the metropolitan life. Simmel refers this kind of theory to the deepest problem of modern life – fear in part of becoming so anonymous as to seem to have never existed. Simmel highlights city-life which develops an urban “intellectual character.” He contrasts it with small-town life. According to Simmel, small-town life is tied more to feelings and emotional relationships. Simmel argues that people in cities must be able to adapt so often to changing circumstances that their feelings are never engaged the way they are for people in more conservative settings. Thus city people react with ‘logic’ and not by emotion and tradition, and don’t engage with the depths of the personality. Life conditions in the city prevent the development of customary ways of living, hence the city people must deal with ever-shifting contexts, and therefore they must adopt a carefree attitude to protect themselves. Their relations are mediated through impersonal means—money. In the metropolitan life everything has its price, where in the small town, personal relationship is more important. For example if you do shopping in the big town you would be served well but in the standard way that is applied for every customer and this is done to make you comfortable and to increase economic activity, but on the small town the experience of the shopping would be different, and it would be more based on your relationship to seller.
