The term parochial can be applied in both [[culture]] and [[economics]] if a local culture or geographic area's [[government]] makes decisions based on solely local interests that do not take into account the [[effect]] of the [[decision]] on the broader [[community]]. The term may also be applied to decisions and [[events]] that are considered to be trivial in the grand scheme of things but that may be over-emphasized in a smaller [[community]], such as disputes between [[neighbors]].
