According to Wirth (1938), why are social connections in urban life considered segmental?

Show Answers

Because interactions were limited to certain neighborhoods within the citySince individuals related to one another only through particular situational roles rather than as complete, multifaceted personsDue to the unique behavioral patterns associated with each social classBecause relationships relied heavily on direct face-to-face contact with close family and friendsBecause social ties were primarily formed through formal organizations

Explanation

Wirth described urban social relationships as segmental because people interacted with each other based on specific situational roles rather than knowing one another as whole, complex individuals.
