Country Living V.S. City Living

There are definitely more conveniences living in the city. Grocery stores are within blocks from your home, a gas station is to be found on every corner, and banks and hospitals are within walking distance. Living in the country means commuting to get to these places. It also means having to be prepared and making several stops to get all things accomplished in one day to avoid traveling back and forth several times in one week.

The reason why location is important is because I’d prefer to live at home, where cost of living is almost a non-factor. Another reason for living at home instead of other housing arrangements is because of the proximity I have to things I need (ex. dental, doctor, etc..) and things I am familiar with (stores, friends,

City dwellers are residents who have their place of stay in the cities. These city residents have or will be willing to stay in the city for their entire life. With their stay in the city, these city dwellers tend to have a certain perspective about the other residents who live, work and study in the rural areas or the country side. People living in the cities have a total different lifestyle and culture as compared to their counterparts who reside in the country side. These two genres of people, that is the city dwellers and the country side dwellers tend to have a total different lifestyle between them. People residing in the city have in the past and in the present years visited the country side for one reason or another in their lifetime. With these visits, the city dwellers have come back to their original place of stay that is the city with different views about what they saw and learned from the people who reside in the country side. This document will explore and explain the different views the city dwellers have had concerning the residents of the countryside both negative and positive and also their view concerning the environment of the country side.

The city of Minneapolis, Minnesota is booming with life! With its convention center, night life noise, busy highways, advertised attractions, and sports related events, the city life expectations satisfy both visitors and residents. It is typical to assume that the high-end activities and busy nightlife attract political feuds and noise because they are located in the city. Nonetheless, this is not the case for some of Central Minnesota’s rural life found in places such as Riverview, Sterns County, Baker Township, and parts of Saint Cloud. So, comparing Central Minnesota’s city and rural life, where are peace and beauty located?

At first glance, it is obvious that there are many pros and cons when it comes to deciding a lifestyle in either one of these surroundings, so careful assessment of all details are required to make the ideal decision for what a future resident might expect. To start off, it would seem that the majority of city apartments can be quite affordable in a rent-controlled zone and are much more practical for poor families, or even

Everyone has a different lifestyle. People sometimes have to decide where they want to live. Some people prefer to live in the city while other people choose to live in the countryside. Their choice depends upon their bachground. City lifestyle and country lifestyle are two different types of living. Although, these two types of living differ from each other by environment, job opportunities and cost of living; they also have similar features such as daily routine, values and people live and work in these areas.

countryside because “this young creature’s chance of happiness seems less doubtful in retirement, than it would be in the . . . dissipated world” (106). As a country dweller, Mr. Villars’ perception of the city is limited to its worst qualities, and as a result he sees the city as a dangerous, awful place.

The atmosphere of a small town is more comforting than a city. Cities are noisy while towns are peaceful. Small towns have less pollution. You can walk down the street in a town and people smile and stop to talk to you. In a city people usually walk right past you without even giving a smile. People in a small town are friendly and always willing to help a community member in need.

People living in rural areas are 'pulled' to the city. Often they believe that the standard of living in urban areas will be much better than that in rural areas. , however they are usually wrong. People also hope for well paid jobs, and the greater opportunities to find casual or 'informal' work. 2.)

People say home is where the heart is, but what is home? For some, home is a place where they can sit on the front porch and drink sweet tea, while others see home as the place where they were raised. For me, home is where I have the most cherished memories. After living in the city and the country, I have come to the conclusion that life in the country is where my heart is. My lifestyle in the country consisted of similarities and differences than what it did in the city. What draws me more to country is the ability to enjoy the outdoor space, the quality time spent celebrating with family and friends, and learning the important life skills of scheduling your responsibilities wisely.

Small town verses big city, the age-old argument which is better to live in and why does the grass always look greener on the other side, well for the small towners at least. Growing up in Prince George a small town in B.C, I always dreamed of leaving, moving on to bigger and better places, the big cities looked so wonderful. Well I have now lived in Edmonton, Alberta for eight years and I will say that home is where the heart is.

Through my knowledge and experience I would prefer to live in an urban area. The urban life is much more social than the rural life. You can go out more, meet a lot of people, and travel very easily without a car. I feel like the people that live in rural areas have to do more manual work, such as handling crops. The houses there are not built close to each other and so there are not many neighbors. This gives me a sense of isolation from the world. In my opinion, isolation is not a good thing because it can harm most things in life. For example, your mental health, your relationship with family and friends etc. The people in urban are more open-minded than rural, in terms of accepting, understanding, and discussing what is happening in today's society/culture. Women in the urban have much more resources and access to services than rural. They can get paid in employment and have a career which is more opportunities you would get than in the rural. On the other hand, rural is not more diverse than urban. There are more people from different religions and cultures that interact with one another in the

This is my home in Geneva. My family lives in a manor near a lake, and about a league outside of the large city, because we don’t like living inside the large bustling city, which currently has a population of around 37000. [1] I am about to leave home to continue my education. I am going to miss my family and friends here, but I need to pursue my dreams, and I could always visit home if I miss it. Pursuing science and philosophy has been a dream of mine since I was a small child, and saw a tree struck by lightning. [ch. 2] I can finally satisfy this lust more so than I had by reading every one of those old books about the wonders of philosophy and alchemy.

Kimi 胡劼 No. 0210650 12/30/10 Persuasive Essay (Revised) Life in Cities is of More Quality in China In recent years, people have paid close attention to the quality of daily life a lot, and one of the most heated debating topics is whether people should choose to live in the city or in the countryside in China. There are millions of peasants living in rural areas, but a large number of them are rushing into urban areas to get a job every year. People living in the countryside are anxious to begin their urban life, meanwhile people in cities prefer to live a peaceful life far away from town. As for me, in China, living in the city is much better than living in the countryside in that citizens would surely live a more convenient life, have more choices in every aspect of life and would also achieve a sense of accomplishment in their enriching life. Since some areas of countryside in China are still in poor situation, cities offer people a more comfortable and convenient life. In some suburban regions, it is troublesome to go out, but the transportation system in almost every city in China is quite developed now. Citizens could choose different vehicles as they wish in cities, such as car, bus, metro and even high speed railway. People living in Wuhan in central region of China could reach Guangzhou in South China by high speed rail within several hours, in which period people living in rural areas may just get to town from home. In cities, people could enjoy the door-to-door transport service easily meanwhile going out is quite an inconvenient action for many people living in suburban in China. This sort of obvious contrast can be seen by everybody. Besides the aspect of transportation, there are more plentiful living facilities in cities than in the countryside. As a whole, the infrastructure in most cities in China is of high quality. The systems of medical treatment, health care, physical training, etc are available for citizens to make use of to keep their life quality in a high level. Once citizens have a problem in daily life, there are often corresponding ways for them to solve it. While in the most areas of countryside in China, there is still even a lack of medical security now. Living in the city

Changes in living environments consequently brought about changes in lifestyle. Richard Louv recalls that the middle of the last century saw a huge migration of Americans to suburban neighborhoods, areas that fall in between the categorizations for rural and urban. (2008).
