LIFESTYLE

Lifestyle is the interests, opinions, behaviours, and behavioural orientations of an individual, group, or culture The term "style of life"  was introduced by Austrian psychologist in his book, The Case of Miss R., with the meaning of "a person's basic character as established early in childhood" .The broader sense of lifestyle as a "way or style of living" has been documented since 1961.Lifestyle is a combination of determining intangible or tangible factors. Tangible factors relate specifically to  variables, i.e. an individual's demographic profile, whereas intangible factors concern the psychological aspects of an individual such as personal values, preferences, and outlooks.

A rural environment has different lifestyles compared to an urban  Location is important even within an urban scope. The nature of the  in which a person resides affects the set of lifestyles available to that person due to differences between various neighbourhood degrees of affluence and proximity to natural and cultural environments. For example, in areas near the sea, a surf culture

or lifestyle can often be present.

Lifestyle

A lifestyle typically reflects an individual's attitudes, way of life, values, or world view. Therefore, a lifestyle is a means of forging a sense of self and to create cultural symbols that resonate with personal identity. Not all aspects of a lifestyle are voluntary. Surrounding social and technical systems can constrain the lifestyle choices available to the individual and the symbols they are able to project to others and themself.

The lines between personal identity and the everyday doings that signal a particular lifestyle become blurred in modern society.For example, "green lifestyle" means holding beliefs and engaging in activities that consume fewer resources and produce less harmful waste (i.e. a smaller ecological footprint), and deriving a sense of self from holding these beliefs and engaging in these activities. Some commentators argue that, in modernity, the cornerstone of lifestyle construction is consumption behavior, which offers the possibility to create and further individualize the self with different products or services that signal different ways of life.

Lifestyle may include views on politics, religion, health, intimacy, and more. All of these aspects play a role in shaping someone's lifestyle.  In the magazine and television industries, "lifestyle" is used to describe a category of publications or programs.
