There are different opinions regarding whether people living in a big city have many benefits in various aspects. It is a widely accepted fact that living in a small town, having peaceful and quiet atmosphere and good environment, is beneficial for their health. Even so, I strongly believe that it is better for people to live in a big city which gives them diverse opportunities because human do not place their attention only into their health. In this essay, I will explain my idea by presenting two reasons as follows.
First, people living in a big city can get the jobs that they want to have more easily. This is because there are many companies that require various kinds of jobs and people who are competitive. Since there are not much people in a small town, a number of jobs and people that are needed there are also not so much. It can be an obstacle to people who want to have certain jobs that are not required from people there. To be specific, almost people living in an ordinary small town engage in agriculture, so kinds of jobs there are associated with it. As a result, this phenomenon makes these limited, and it can be a barrier for people to choose jobs. Meanwhile, living in a big city is beneficial for people to get jobs which they want to engage in, because it not only requires a lot of people, but also has many different jobs to the point of being countless.
Second, a big city gives people beneficial conditions in terms of facilities such as hospitals where people can be cured when they suffer from some diseases, schools where they have good education and parks where children play together without their parents worrying about them. Large cities have many facilities which are well qualified and have abilities to accommodate every people there. For example, my relatives who lived in a rural area plowing their field take 1 hour to get to a small supermarket having a few kinds of commodities. When they suffered from a skin ailment caused by plants, they have to take a bus and transfer from it to a subway. Finally, after change a subway three times, they can get to a hospital. It takes too much time and money for transportation. If they had lived in the city which I live in, they would have take 5 minutes to get to a hospital on foot.
In conclusion, based on what I have just mentioned, I am convinced that living in a large city assists people to get many benefits. |
