Each nation has many good people who take care of others. For example, some of high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages or home for the elderly. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems. Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up, or repair their houses, or the shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers. Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go and play games or learn crafts. Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of interest.

Nhiều người từ nông thôn đang bỏ lại cuộc sống truyền thống của họ và di chuyển đến thành phố. Họ tin rằng các công việc được trả lương cao đang dồi dào trong thành phố.
Tại nhà trong nông trại, cuộc sống luôn là sự lạc lõng với thiên nhiên. Bão, lũ lụt hoặc hạn hán có thể dễ dàng hủy hoại mùa màng và để lại cho nông dân ít hoặc không có tiền cho đến năm sau. Thường thì những người nông dân tìm kiếm những công việc khác khi họ cần nhiều tiền hơn cho gia đình họ.
Sự gia tăng dân số, tuy nhiên, đã dẫn đến sự quá tải ở nhiều thành phố. Điều này gây căng thẳng cho các trường học và bệnh viện, cũng như cung cấp nước và điện. Tình trạng ô nhiễm gia tăng là một kết quả khó chịu.
