Is this so? Rural life is uniform, but only in the sense that it is small and quiet enough for universal archetypes to emerge. The individual is free to find their expression of the universal, which is (paradoxically) the most unique thing you can be. (Christ in every man).
The Art of Being Ruled (Lewis, 1926): Lewis asserts that localism is as homogenising as cosmopolitanism. The residents of Puddleton, he maintains, are as uniform as those in the city.

The city, by contrast, uses material forces to level everyone to a superficial uniformity shot through with conformist individualism (e.g. tattoos). The universal archetypes that give us our uniqueness cannot emerge.
