The places where people live affects greatly in their lifestyles and the living place is one of the very basic needs for people. Our earth is home to around six billion people living all around the globe, many of them are urbanites and other ruralitesOur earth is home to around six billion people living all around the globe, many of them are urbanites and other ruralites. People opine differently while choosing living places. Some prefer and argue that the city is the best place to live since it provides so many advantages over the rural area, but others think that villages are the best places to live a good life. Both places have advantages and disadvantages.
It is true that a city offers so many opportunities and advantages those are absent in the countryside. For instance, modern transportation and communication systems are better in any city compared to a village. In a city people have access to many different transportation systems and have the latest technologies to communicate; like cellular phones, the internet, fax, etc. Moreover, when a new technology arrives in the country it is first introduced in the city area and usually 2/3 years later to the village. Secondly, cities provide better security to their inhabitants like mobile police patrols, special forces, community police, security guards, traffic police, etc. But in the village, the number of security force persons is too low compared to the overall population. Moreover, cities provide better treatment, hospitals, qualified doctors, better educational institutes, and amusement parks, etc which are really inevitable to lead a better life. In many cases, those facilities are absent or rare in a village. In my opinion, the reason why most people tend to live in a city is the vast opportunities for jobs. Most of the corporate offices, industries, factories, government offices, garments, and manufacturing industries are either situated in a city or close to the city. People have much more employment opportunities in a city than in a village. On the contrary, people living in a village, are often forced to do a job that is not suitable at all for them since the job opportunity is so narrow there. Again, schools or colleges are not equipped with a better environment, labs, teachers and that's why students in a village might not get a better education he/she deserves. If we consider the entertainment facilities in a city then citizens of a city have so many options like theatre, park, art gallery, museum, amusement parks, libraries, etc. But people in the villages have only TV or books and very few facilities to spend leisure time.
Although the advantages which the cities bring to, besides the cities also have many disadvantages, too. Such as :
-Firstly, modern cities all over the world face the same problems. One of them is poor housing. People often live in old houses or in the slums and they don't have electricity, and there are many other problems here, like disease, poor healthcare, so on.
-Secondly, cars and industries are polluting city air and rivers more and more. Waste that people throw away is burned. All of this makes the cities an unhealthy place to live in.
-Thirdly, during the morning and the rush hours, Thirdly, during the morning and the rush hours, there are many traffic jams because there are a lot of people using the roads. This makes people don't go to school or go to work on time.
On the other hand, Villages offer many invaluable advantages that are completely absent in the cities. First of all, someone living in a village can get fresh air and water. There is no intense pollution with smoke, Carbon-DI-oxide, Carbon-mono-oxide, Nitrous-Oxide, and people living in a village are less prone to suffer diseases like asthma, bronchitis, etc. The city can provide security against visible foes but it causes people to face some invisible and dangerous enemies like toxic and polluted air, water, and the environment. Secondly, people of villages live much nearer to nature and breathe in the fresh air, as well as eat fresh foods, vegetables, fruits collected directly from the garden. On the contrary vegetables, foods, fruits in the cities are normally stored and mixed with preservatives and can cause serious harm to the health. The living cost in the countryside is much lesser than that of a city. The density of population in a village is much less than a city and village people are naturally grow up their personal relationship among all people and live like a real community and take care of each other. While in the city people do not know even who live in the next door and personal relationship in a community is rare.
In my case, I prefer to live in the city. I feel relaxed and comfortable staying in my own city. There are lots of facilities I can't deny are presented in my city and those are the invaluable part of my lifestyle. Moreover, I like to lead a busy and challenging life and want to be connected with the world. I enjoy visiting the countryside but get bored there if I stay more than 2/3 days because all of my necessary stuff to lead my as usual life is absent there.
