"This or That " contest Week -2 - Is it better to live in a village or a city?

Hello steemians, it is my pleasure to start the day by giving my point of view on the importance of both village and city, not excluding their disadvantages. Most individuals prefer a city lifestyle over a rural lifestyle because of education and healthcare facilities, while some people would consider a village to be a place of peace and relaxation because of its lower density and freer way of life.

Write about the advantages and disadvantages of village life.

There are several advantages and disadvantages of village life to society and the younger generation. Living in a village can offer a slower pace of life with a sense of community and an easy life, but also lacks the diverse healthcare facilities, job creation, and educational facilities compared to the opportunities city life provides.

ADVANTAGES OF VILLAGE LIFE

• A village often provides a stronger sense of community, where people have trust and help one another. It is a place where people often feel safe due to the lack of high-technology facilities, unlike cities.

• Another good factor about a village is its low cost of living, goods and services are less expensive compared to a city, where the cost of house for rent is expensive for the less privileged to afford.

• The village often has an environment that is constantly clean with fewer air pollutants since fewer industries produce goods, resulting in a safe and clean environment, more convenient for living.

• The village, being a rural area, also has easier access to the natural surroundings, such as forests, rivers, fields, and a peaceful environment for recreational activities, exposing children to wildlife conservation and the strengthening of people's culture.

• The lifestyle that the village provides is freer and less stressful than urban settlements, with a simple way of life that encourages relaxation and peace of mind.

• The village is of great advantage for individuals who see farming as a good source of generating income, most of the time cities don't offer land for farming.

DISADVANTAGES OF VILLAGE LIFE

Village lifestyle encourages farming

• The village often has fewer and fewer jobs and employment opportunities, most especially in specialized fields.

• The village often lacks access to services and infrastructure like education, healthcare facilities, good roads, and a convenient market, which are very much available in the city.

• Villages, in most cases, don't have recreational facilities, cultural events, and limited entertainment due to the primitive lifestyle they live, compared to urban areas.

• Lifestyle in the village is often discouraged because of the lack of good roads and vehicles for transportation, making individuals rely on personal vehicles or, better still, transport themselves on foot.

• Villages often lack basic amenities like pipe-borne water, good shelter, good internet connection, and specialized healthcare facilities.

Write about the advantages and disadvantages of city life.

City life may offer a lot of opportunities, including access to amenities, cultural experience, and jobs, but it also has challenges such as high cost of living, pollution, and more problems because of competition and density.

ADVANTAGES OF CITY LIFE

• Urban areas, in most cases, provide a wider range of employment opportunities and industries, improving career advancement and achieving one's dream in life.

• Lifestyle in the city is more favorable because of its availability of amenities like good roads, restaurants, shopping malls, and cultural institutions.

• The city is a place where we can find individuals with different perspectives, fostering good social interactions and cultural experiences.

• Urban areas always have good educational institutions where children can acquire knowledge, and they also have healthcare facilities, creating a place where individuals can always maintain good health.

• Cities often have good entertainment centers, recreational activities, and cultural events, creating a vibrant and stimulating environment.

DISADVANTAGES OF CITY LIFE

• Urban areas are known to have an expensive budget; the cost of things like transportation, housing, and healthcare is often much expensive than food itself. Everyday expenses made in the city are greater than those of rural areas.

• Cities often face challenges like noise and air pollution, mostly due to the high population density and industrial activities.

• The city lifestyle is mainly full of stress due to competition, most individuals aim for success more than others, depriving them of an enjoyable moment.

• In urban environments, the rate of criminal activities is relatively high because of the enormous wealth people often acquire, making it unsafe to live.

• Urban areas usually experience a lot of traffic congestion, which often leads to delays, thereby frustrating commuters.

My conclusion.

I would like to conclude by stating that I would prefer to have a life in the city rather than in the village. This is because the urban areas open the door for individuals to be literate with technological advancements, knowing how to make use of laptops, blenders, gas cookers, and the rest. Urban areas may be denser than rural areas, but it doesn't mean that you cannot live in the city; all you have to do is adapt to the lifestyle, and you will get used to it.
