Living in a small village certainly had advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it was a close-knit community where everyone knew each other and looked out for one another. There was a feeling of safety and security. Moreover, people had access to natural resources, such as forests or fields, where they could gather food or fuel, and there was a strong sense of culture and tradition. People had a lot in common and could rely on each other for support, and relationships were built on trust and mutual respect.
