Recommended: City living versus country living

Everybody has different lifestyles, country and city lifestyles are completely different. There are many differences with the environment, jobs available, and living cost. Everyone has a preference and everybody has their reason, but what is your reason? The choice of the better one is up to you, and I will help you decide for sure what life you would rather be living.
They biggest thing different about the country and city is the environment. When you are in the country the environment is purer and more peaceful while the city has a lot of business and factories (Phung, 2011). The county is also very quiet and does not have many vehicles, while the city is full of people and has many vehicles everywhere.

Jobs and schooling are much different, in the city it is convenient fir people to go to school and find a good paying job, while in the country the conditions usually are not to great for a good education and most are farmers (Phung, 2011). Most people living in the country are going to be a farmer or have a garden and sell their goods to people or take them to markets to sell, while in the city you have to go to school to get a good paying job or even a job at all and you are working in a large store putting the food out that the farmers have grown for the markets.

  • Suburban Living versus Urban Living

    414 Words  | 1 Pages

    Urban living like suburban living has positive and negative characteristics. The homes found in urban areas are primarily lower class. The absence of extra money creates an environment with more crime and run-down neighborhoods. In inner cities, the homes are found feet from each other. Since people live so close together, it causes the environment to be more disruptive and creates a less peaceful atmosphere. Having neighbors so close by in dangerous neighborhoods can also be a safety feature. It is easier to get help in emergencies if your neighbors are nearby. This may influence a person's decision on living in urban areas.

  • Essay About Urbanization

    2192 Words  | 5 Pages

    Urbanization is the process of becoming a city or intensification of urban elements. Since modernization, the meaning of urbanization mostly became the transformation that a majority of population living in rural areas in the past changes to a majority living in urban areas. However, urbanization differs between the developed and developing world in terms of its cause and the level of its negative outcomes. Korea, as one of the developing countries, experienced what is called ‘ overurbanization,’ and it experienced a number of negative consequences of it, although it could achieve a great economic development by it. This paper examines how urbanization differs between the West and the rest of the world, the characteristics and process of urbanization in Korea, problems sprung from its extreme urbanization, and government policies coping with population distribution.

    There are numerous differences between living in a small town or a big city. Small towns and big cities each have their unique advantages and disadvantages. Where a person grows up plays an integral part in shaping their personality. And, sometimes a person’s personality can have a great impact on their preference of where to live. Preferring a small town or big city is a very individual matter. Different people have different reasons for favoring one over the other. Personally, and admitting that my views are shaped by my personal experiences, I believe the advantages of growing up in a small town – as long as that small town is in reasonably close proximity to a decent sized city.

    Working environments, for instance, vary among people who live in the cities and those in the country. City dwellers generally have a commute, sometimes a long, arduous and congested jaunt. Jobs are more plentiful in a city setting; however, the fast paced working environment in the city can cause great displeasure. Some would dispute, though, that it would be easier to get another job because the market is higher. Although I agree the job market is greater in the city, likewise, so is the number of prospective job seekers.

  • Differences Between City Life and Country Life

    521 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of the significant differences I noticed is the social opportunities that are not feasible in the countryside towns. Many people prefer big city life because of the opportunities they see in the cities. People living in cities find jobs easily because of the corporations and industries. Cities have more competition which sometimes leads to a low cost of living. The other factors that contribute to the low cost of living in the cities are easy transportation, generic job availabilities, and other benefits provided by the government. Because of the low transportation facilities, and less job availabilities, country people experience high cost ...
