In the past, we lived in small communities, small villages and nowadays we are living in a big communities, large cities. But let's focus on the past, what was the advantages and disadvantages of a living in a small communities. I think advantages of living in a small communities was people didn't feel awkward with each other because they were close. If any of family in the village had a emergency problem, they can called help from other quickly because there house were against to each other, About the disadvantages of living in a small villages was they got bored of their neighboor and people surrounded them because they were too similar. They didn't get a choice to communicate with new people outside their area so their social communication skill was limited. They didn't have many new friends.
