There might be some people who believe that
people living in rural areas can tend their family better than those who live
in urban areas. However, I personally disagree with the above idea. There are
two reasons for my opinion.
To begin with, in particular, Korea, where
I was born and live now, was a poor country at the time Korean War. But it has
rapidly developed over the few decades. In the process, the gap of life style
between urban and rural areas has widened. Since technology development, people
who live in urban area are under the benefit of technology development more.
So, most of people in urban can do their work at home, which means they can
have enough time to take care their families. For example, my sister, Laura,
has been working at home since she had been pregnant. She said requesting home-working
to the company is not such difficult matter these days. However, my uncle
couple living in rural area needs to commute to long distance every day because
the rural company doesn’t have the system of home-working yet. Therefore, they
feel negatively in having a baby.
On top of that, as such rapid development
of our country, the income gap between urban and rural area also have been
greater. So there are not many working couples in urban, which means one of
couple is able to look after their family. According to a study by MBC, one of
the Korean public broadcasting stations, the frequency of family activities in
urban area has continued to grow. This study pointed out that just one person
working culture in urban area allows these activities with family because one
of the couple can spend their time with family even during the day. This
clearly shows that people can take care of their family better because they divide
the role of the family in urban. |
