Do you think it is better to live in the countryside or in a city. Discuss both views.

#countryside #city
Living in a village or a city completely depends upon individual perspectives and needs.
However
, there are several advantages and disadvantages of both. Personally, I believe that there are many benefits of living in metro areas where people can achieve their goals and live a quality
life
. There are a plethora of merits of city
life
such
 as good education, high standard living, advanced
health
 care system and many more.
First
 of all, those who are living in cities can study and explore any kind of field they want, by means of the latest technologies which are not available in suburbs.
Second
 of all, they can live in high societies with better facilities and amenities including sports activities and various entertainment sites.
Additionally
, it
also
 provides better well-being services due to the presence of genius doctors and big hospitals, whereas suburbs don’t have enough resources or infrastructure to have a good healthcare system.
Although
 city
life
 has many benefits, there are some disadvantages
also
such
 as pollution, traffic congestion,
health
 issues, population density etc.
Moreover
, some research facts clearly say that villagers have more
life
 expectancy than cities.
On the other hand
, some individuals would like to live in the countryside mainly because of greenery, those who like farming and agriculture. People in villages live a peaceful and happy
life
 without any stress and tensions, they live in a community with more helpful nature and solidarity. They hardly get sick and always stay fit because of more physical activities and less polluted areas. Some of the disadvantages of villages are poor education and a bad
health
 care system. In conclusion, there are so many merits and demerits of living in a village or metro region. Considering education and
health
 care, I would say living in metro regions is always better than in villages.
