It would appear that there are two general ways that people prefer to live - either in urban areas or in country (rural) areas. And, there is a general trend toward people moving to large metropolises - particularly in China. Indeed, some in small villages in Mexico have cited that a major reason they wish to come to America is that "there is nothing to do" in their small towns. But why do people differ so greatly in this manner?

And so, why have some rural people in Colorado, say, even desired to secede from major urban areas of that state? (Consider reading a web article,
"Frustrated Rural Colorado Counties Want to Secede as 51st State
'New Colorado' and 'Lincoln' are names being considered for the possible state": abcnews.go.com/US/frustrated-rural-colorado-counties-secede-51st-state/story?id=20493654). And why do many Republicans prefer rural life, while so many Democrats prefer major urban areas, including the Eastern Seaboard? And what "flavor" of people so prefer Appalachian (again, rural living), such that some Appalachians have said, in Diane Sawyer's ABC News show of 2009, "Hidden America: Children of the Mountains", that Once Appalachia is in your blood, it's there to stay?

This videographer has lived in both major urban areas in the United States and Europe, and also in the tiniest of villages, including spending four years in Appalachia - in a town of 15,000 - as well as a village of 800 for four years too, near the Mississippi River - close to the Illinois - Iowa divide; he also was born in Detroit, Michigan and spent his first five years of life there, and lived in San Diego, California for four years - in the "ghettos" - while in his twenties. Currently he lives in a working class town of 15,000 in Kentucky, near Appalachia, and very frequently makes visits - to include tent-camping - to Appalachian areas of Kentucky, West Virginia, and North Carolina. He also attended classes, on a part-time basis, for some years, at Berea College - but never acquired a degree - tutoring their students in exchange for the free tuition: for more information, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berea_College: " Founded in 1855 by the abolitionist John Gregg Fee (1816–1901), Berea College admitted both black and white students in a fully integrated curriculum, making it the first non-segregated, coeducational college in the South and one of a handful of institutions of higher learning to admit both male and female students in the mid-19th century. The college began as a one-room schoolhouse that also served as a church on Sundays on land that was granted to Fee by politician and abolitionist Cassius Marcellus Clay. Fee named the new community after the biblical Berea. Although the school's first articles of incorporation were adopted in 1859, founder John Gregg Fee and the teachers were forced out of the area by pro-slavery supporters in that same year."

This videographer also spends considerable time exploring and talking with the Amish and Mennonites found in pockets of rural areas of his state, having made many trips, particularly, to Casey County, Kentucky - and his roots include being raised in his early years, by a grandfather and grandmother from Eastern Poland (grandmother) and Odessa, Ukraine (born in the city of Odessa) - another Eastern European country, and this grandfather was a Mennonite. They, and his mother, emigrated to Ellis Island, New York City, in 1950, and he was born ten years later. He spent most of his summer childhood years on their farm in Michigan - which he left only once a week, otherwise enjoying great quietude, and attended school during the rest of the time, largely in Minnesota and North Carolina. He also "got" his first taste of "rural" life when he had a year off, after Kindergarten, and spent most of that time playing in the woods of North Carolina, thus creating a love of Nature and times alone "with his own thoughts", something that later took hold as a desire to explore his outer and inner worlds.
