In Inheret the Wind, the town of Hillsboro is a fictional representation of Dayton, TN. Both HIllsboro and Dayton are closed-minded communities. In your opinion, is your community (Wallingford, Swarthmore, Rutledge, Media, etc.) an open-minded community? Try to give specific reasons for your answer.

In my opinon , are area is open minded as you can usaly tell a diffeece of where there from.. For example you can tell the differece between someone from Wallingford from a kid from Swathmore the kid from swathmore is usaly more of a prety boy , and the kid from walligford is more the odorsy type.So I think we are more open minded then Dayton Tn

In my community I would not really know if we are open minded or closed minded about religion. The reason for this is that I don't talk to that many people in rutledge but from the people i do know they are religious but not very religious. They don't go to church every week and I don't know if anyone else is strictly religious or not. Also I know that not everyone in my community is the same religion and that only a few of the people in my community that i know go to church evevry week. From what i know i would say that my community is open mineded about religion.

I think that wallingford-swarthmore, etc. is an opened minded community. i think that it is opened minded because people from here go to philly and shop around and eat. But in the Dayton community people shop and eat in there town and no where else. In the city or town Dayton people don't listen to anything but what their mayor or town says. But in swarthmore I think the people are more open to opinion from the other parts of the country.

I think that as a community, we are very open minded. This is a very diverse community with a lot of different races and religous beliefs. I say this because i know a lot of people who are a different religion, but are interested in talking to me about mine. Also, I am not jewish , but I have been to tons of bar mitzvahs. These are just two examples on why I think that this community is very open minded.

Yes, people in swarthore were open mind. Because there were different relations, they live neer and make friends eith each others. We read newspaper, watch TV and listen to the radio, know what happens out side. we know the idea from other relations, other countrys and other culture. We don't live in a close places, so here is an open-mind community.

I feel that the community that i live in is open minded. We are opened minded because there are many religions in Wallingford so not everyone has the same viewpoint as another person of a different religion. Also there are many different ethnicity so their views of certain things. The last reason is that everyone comes from a different home so that some people might look at how you pray or where you go to church, sometimes it depends on the parents. This is why my community i feel is more open minded

In my opinion Philadelphia area is very open minded because we accept all kinds of people. The area is very open minded because unlike Dayton we accept all kinds of religion and races. If you are an open minded community you will listen to everybody's idea's. We are an open minded community because we do judge people for what they believe in or what they look like. To be an open minded community you must listen to everyone's idea's before you make a judgment on someone elses beliefs.

In my opion, I think that Wallingford is an open-minded community. Unlike Hillsboro, Wallingford opens their commuinty to new ideas. Some examples of new ideas that Wallingford use are new houses, laws, and technology. Hillsboro was a quiet town that didn't accept new ideas and didn't care about their surroundings which is why it is known as a close-minded community. Even though Wallingford is a small community, it stills opens up to new ideas in order the improve the community,

I don't feel that wallingford,swarthmore, ect, is a close-minded communite. First of all we don't have one religion that we all believe that everyone protests. We have many different people that have different religons living in our communitie. A lot of people I know that go to church don't always go so I feel that it is not a huge part in communitie. We are also more open minded because we go alround to different communities to see family and shop unlike Dayton's communitie where they do everything in there communitie.

I think that Wallingford is an open minded community unlike Dayton. It is open minded because no one cares what religion you are and what you believe in. If you believe we came from apes or God made us, nothing will be held against you. The people in Dayton do not think up like this. Thats how Wallingford is an open mind community.

Wallingford is an open minded community in my opinion. Wallingford is more open minded compared to the other towns in the district like Swarthmore. In Wallingford people don't care if you are catholic or presbyterian or any religion. Swarthmore Wallingford and Media have churches for all religions even though they are small towns. In Sarthmore people are considered liberals. They are very judgemental on people and are very democratic.

My commituty of Rutledge is a open-minded and closed at the same time. Since its such a small town we dont really have much to change. The town doesnt have a mayor anymore and the towns commituty doesnt do much. We have sperate little partys and celebrations. At the same time, we are open-minded because we are such a small town. We look more towards Ridley and Springfield just because there closer and they're open-minded unlike Swathmore.

I think that hillsboro and dayton are very similar.the two towns are similar because they are both very religous towns.another similarity between the two towns is that they both have a similar layout, also they have the same type of stores in the town.diferences between the two towns are that they have different names,they have different people.but swarthmore is very differnet becasue it is very close and very small.

wallingford in my opinion is a very open minded community along with many others in the United States. Now, present day religion and race no longer matters and they all unite into one community. Wallingford eximplifies this by allowing many races and religions continue their beliefs without being descriminated against. wallingford, though smaller than Swathmore, still has more different types of churches.

In my opinion Wallingford, the town I live in is very open-minded. There are many different religions and churches in our town. I go to St. John's Chrysostom Church. I feel that Wallingford is more open-minded then Swathmore. Swathmore has only two churches in their town, unlike wallingford that has around five. Swathmore is also a larger area then wallingford. Wallingford is always open to new ideas.

I think that wallingford and the surrounding towns are very much open minded to things such as change. This is not the case for for Dayton, and Hillsboro for they were now very open to change when they had been faced with the scopes trial. When something in a town lke wallingford is brought up, and is liked by many people it is usually not a big deal and is changed. In a close minded town much debate would happen and it could be turned ugly very quickly, in my opinion it is always bad for a town to be closed minded for things like this to happen. Overall this area is open minded, and change is something prominant for people to have.

I think that swarthmore is openminded because they are open to many types of views. People in swarthmore are nice and they are pretty good. I believe that swarthmore and its people are pro-choice. I believe that they won't judge you because of the color of your skin etc. So in closing the area that I live in is very openminded.

I think Swarthmore is an open-minded district. Because people here are easy to have conversations, children here always play together. And, there is a public town here, people who live in the same area are always meet each other, they have the really good relationship. Also, America is an open-minded country, Swarthmore is in the big open-minded environment, it can't be close-minded place.
