The world is a very diverse place: some areas are more
hospitable, others are less so but human kind now lives everywhere with the
exception of The Antarctic. The climate and geographical conditions of the
places where people choose to live naturally impact their lifestyles, habits
and ways of life. Mongolians, for example, live in a land with a very harsh
climate where the going is tough; therefore, they are very hardy individuals.
Europe is also a large and diverse continent with the extreme south bordering
The Mediterranean, and the extreme north bordering the North Sea and reaching
into the polar circle. The people who live in these two very different parts of
Europe also vary greatly.

Concluding statement
To sum up, people living in different parts of the world
have different temperaments and different life styles due to the type of life they
have to lead. Those whose lives are tougher, like Northern Europeans, have had
to learn to cope with all that nature throws at them, while those who live in
more temperate zones, like The Mediterranean’s, have become more laid back and
sociable. One thing that all people share, however, is the values that make us
human like kindness and generosity; such values are shared by all of humanity
regardless of country.
