Have you developed a “blasé outlook” in the midst of the disorienting nature of large urban environments?

Georg Simmel believed that the “blasé outlook” helped people to preserve their individuality and their mental health.

Explanation:

A blasé attitude is defined as feeling boredom or ennui with the conventions of daily life. Sociologist Georg Simmel felt this attitude served a function for people to react more rationally and less emotionally to the rapid change and many different options and circumstances that people encounter in urban life.  Individuals take on this blasé attitude as a means to adapt to the frenetic nature of the city and so they can exert their individuality. Simmel felt that people living in rural areas tend to react with less logic and more emotion and this helps them build tight local communities in rural settings.  In city life relationships with others are more aloof and constantly changing at a fast pace.  This can give more opportunities for change of circumstances in Simmel's view.

an aneroid barometer is different from a mercury barometer in that it provides readings that increase as air pressure increases.
