There were many advantages of living in a
village
,
however
, had some drawbacks as well.
People
in the
village
cared about each other very well because they spent so much time together that they even became one family and one villager's problem was the problem of the
village
.
Moreover
, most villages were located far from
cities
and
due to
this
pollution was significantly less and
people
of the
village
could breathe its fresh and pure air.
Additionally
, in the past villages were the perfect places for raising a child or living as an old person because of their low crime rate.
However
, there were some disadvantages of villages to take into account. One of which was the lack of job opportunities as there were very few
people
who could offer a job. Almost all men worked as a farmer and nearly all women were housekeepers.
Secondly
,
people
lost access to a lot of amenities
such
as hospitals and emergency rooms. If an emergency aroused they had to drive for long distances and it only made the emergency worse.
In contrast
, living in urban areas has benefits
such
as access to a wide range of jobs and careers.
Moreover
,
cities
have many ways to entertain
people
.
People
can meet new
people
, do sports, strike up a relationship, go to the theatre or just stay in and watch movies.
Cities
also
provide reliable public transport and better standards of living.
However
, because of the inequality of
people
and arrogance may prevent
people
from knowing each other. In conclusion,
village
life could offer fresh air and a strong bond between villagers but it
also
has limited job opportunities.
In contrast
,
cities
may help you to have a good time,
however
, they can make
people
careless about others.
