There are big cities and small towns around us. Living in the former one is very different from the latter one. It does not only influence our life styles but also our personalities so, it is very important to choose where to live. In my opinion, living in a big city is the right choice. Living in a big city means there are numerous sources to get huge amount of information. Generally, we do have all the media: news, television, radio, the internet, newspaper in a small town but the speed of getting new information is extremely faster in a big city. The atmosphere in a big city is very hectic and busy which makes us always alert and aware of current affairs. This means we can be more quick-witted and wiser in order for a better life. In addition, we experience many things extraordinary and strange such as 9/11 terror which is impossible in a small town life i.e. life of a limited scope. This makes us stronger, more willing and at last more successful in our lives. On the other hand, those who live in a small town tend to be slow, relaxed and not caring what is going on around the world because it rarely affects them. The surrounding of them is too peaceful and dull that they loose the willingness to live an effective life and become lazy. The facility in the small town is undeveloped and the people and it is hard to find proficient workers and teachers because most of them live in big cities where they can get better salaries and better environment. Moreover, the population of a small town is very small and there are not many experiences occurred in a society too. In the other words, there are not much fun and pleasure of meeting a great number of different people. People who live in a big city sometimes want a vacation in a small town where they can rest for a while but they do not want to live their whole lives there because their lives are short but there are not enough experiences and environments to face. Human beings tend to be curious about new things and new environments. Therefore, it is better to live in a big city. |
