Sociology
Wirth (1938) said that social relationships in the urban way of life were ‘segmental’ because:
they were confined to particular areas of the city
people knew each other only through specific, situational roles, and not as whole, rounded individuals
there were distinctive patterns of activity for each social class
they were based on face to face interaction with close friends and family
people knew each other only through specific, situational roles, and not as whole, rounded individuals
Wirth identified the defining characteristics of the city as its large population, high population density, and social diversity. His account of the ‘urban way of life’ described social relationships in the city as ‘segmental’ because people only saw each other within the context of particular roles or settings, not as whole, rounded individuals. 493
