Why are city people so materialistic?
<|assistant|>
City life can often be stressful and chaotic, and materialistic possessions can give people a sense of security and purpose. Additionally, city life offers opportunities to gain material success, leading many people to focus their attentions on accumulating wealth. It can also lead to higher concentrations of people in close proximity, providing many more chances for people to compare their resources and lead to competition. This then further drives materialistic tendencies in people.
