Nowadays larger distance are travelled by people to work and study on a daily basis. Some consider it to be a negative development while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Is it bad to

travel

to distant places, interact with a wider range of people of different neighbouring towns and cities? If people earn a position or career opportunity in an institution which is a bit far from their homes, or if they opt to

travel

greater distances to learn better skills and in search of a better

study

or

work

environment, how can it be a negative

development

? In

this

essay, I will show you that travelling larger distances everyday by people to

work

and

study

has a significant positive effect on

one

's mental and career growth and knowledge and especially helps in achieving challenging goals. Travelling long distances for a good career and better

work

/

study

environment broadens

one

's horizon of knowledge and enriches personal learning experience. Most of the times, a big school or company offering better quality education and higher position, are not located within a close vicinity. These kind of institutions are comparatively less in number.

Such

as, prestigious Universities like Oxford and Cambridge provide

world

class education and it is quite natural that students from far and wide places will flock here to get a quality education and degree. It is very foolish to let go

such

a lucrative opportunity of studying in

such

world

ranking Universities just because

one

might have to

travel

far from their homes. By travelling greater distances people

also

do get an opportunity to interact with people outside their hometowns, cities and local area. When a person travels over 30-50 kms everyday, he can always meet the locals of neighbouring towns and locality, commute with them in the same bus or train, talk to them and get to know them and their culture.

Also

, in the workplace and school,

one

can

work

, talk,

study

and make friends with people coming from far off places.

As a result

, there is more exposure and a chance to interact with a wide variety of populations.

This

healthy interaction breaks many stereotypes and makes a person humble. It is hard to imagine a life spent in a small area among a small circle of people. Some of the most developed places are those where people from far off places commute to

work

or

study

.

For example

, people from different parts of the UK come to London to

work

, some commute daily from neighbouring towns like Brighton or Surrey, while others have migrated from distant cities like Edinburgh and Manchester. London provides a multicultural environment which brings people of different culture, ages, race together under

one

roof and clearly London is

one

of the most developed cities in the UK and the

world

. Travelling long distances has a notable positive impact on the

development

of people and a country as a whole. With modern

development

in technologies, faster and advanced modes of transport are available all over the

world

which helps to cover long distances within a short span of time. Subways, trains, bullet trains, buses, monorails have made life and commuting much easier, comfortable and quicker.

For instance

, London is connected by an extensive network of subway which links distant parts of the city and passengers can

travel

several kilometres comfortably within few minutes. Travelling is not a big hassle and time consuming like it used to be in the past. To conclude, I strongly disagree that travelling larger distances for

work

or studies by people nowadays have any kind of negative impact.

On the contrary

,

this

is a positive

development

which has proved beneficial in different ways. People get a wide exposure, can break their shyness and make friends from far and wide, be flexible and grab advanced positions and get admitted in excellent educational institutions and enjoy the advantages of and be a part of a developed society.
