We live in a demanding society, where young
people
 growing up need to show their capabilities in order to survive.
For
this
 reason, in many countries,
people
 have started to move to big
cities
 for better prospects or in hopes of finding jobs which could show their potential. In
this
 written essay, I will discuss why rural
people
 are moving to big
cities
. On the one hand, there are multiple reasons for them to make
such
 a big move. One of the reasons

that is
 not the case. In most cases, they will be in poverty, which derives from the fact that many of them are not educated to have the essential qualities most big
cities
’ vacancies require.
In other words
, the plain reality at the workplace expects them more. Unfortunately, they are not eligible or ready for what might come up as the highly demanding criteria to live in
such
 big
cities
. Not only that, the population of big
cities
 are constantly increasing, which worsens the situation.
Also
, there will be litter everywhere, homeless
people
 sleeping on the streets, and the worst part is that those
people
 who were once encouraged by hope, are now shattered by unpleasant reality. They can't visit their family back home because they can’t afford transportation either.
On the other hand
, not all countryside
people
 end up being homeless. There are countless cases in which they succeed, having good careers and a successful life.
This
 is the positive feature of
people
 moving to big
cities
: they contribute, work hard, fulfil the demands of society and show what they are capable of. If most cases are
this
 good, not only does the city evolve but the whole country evolves and develops. To summarize my point, there is no
such
 thing as a 100 per cent effective plan as there will always be bad and good development in every scenario. As for myself I can’t fully judge and evaluate
this
 for I have no evidence of
this
 development outweighing the good or bad.
