The presentation in class on the topic of slow living was rather intriguing and revitalizing in a sense. The progress that one town can develop and the recognition as being a slow-life area is something that could alter the outlooks on life for years to come. The point that I found to be questionable was when the presenter asked whether or not it is somewhat of a disturbance to the lifestyle of those in the town when people from out of town visit and are looking for the quick, economically budget-fitting deals that a Walmart can offer. Not everyone can be aware of the ways in which each town operates, and a lifestyle that is far more noticeable is often favoured by the government and diplomats when implementing business and when efforts and opportunities to make money are at stake.
Will slow living trend into something greater across not just the nation, but grow throughout the world, even greater than the examples brought to attention such as the centre in Japan? In other words, is such a lifestyle feasible?
