Around the world, rural people are moving to cities and urban areas, so populations in the countryside are decreasing. Do you think that this is a positive or negative development?
Majorities of the countries went to the same problem, which is the decreasing number of people in rural areas because of mass urbanization from the countryside to the urban cities. In my opinion, this issue results in detrimental side effects such as the high gap of infrastructures and economic equality in each area.

In recent times, economic growth has helped many become richer, both in developed and developing countries. However, those in developed countries are not as happy as they were in the past. Why is this? What can be learned from this?
