In many countries around the world, rural people are moving to cities, so the population in the countryside is decreasing. Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?
These days, since individuals of rural
areas
in a number of countries are more like to move
to cities
. Thus
, the population in the countryside is declining. some people
think that it has affected city people
positively because of plenty of benefits. However
, there is a more persuasive opinion that this
phenomenon has side effects in our society.
To begin
with, when Rural people
move
to the big city, they are able to have a lot of opportunities because of diverse social infrastructures. It is true that there are numerous prestigious schools, hospitals, public libraries, big shopping malls, and so on compared to the countryside. when people
utilize all kinds of facilities, they are more likely to expand their knowledge and have a chance to land a professional job in the future. For example
, some families in South Korea are willing to move
to the capital city, Seoul, because of their education. Since there are a number of prestigious universities in Seoul, their kids might be able to experience high-quality education and It will lead them to have excellent jobs in the future.
However
, this
situation might cause imbalanced developments between cities
and rural areas
. If people
move
to only cities
, rural areas
will experience a lack of young generations, having solely elder people
, which means a lot of social facilities in the countryside like schools, and companies, are going to lose their employees. It will influence our economy negatively. Furthermore
, the government and corporations will no longer invest their budgets in rural areas
because they cannot make a profit in those areas
. Meanwhile, cities
also
might experience side effects because of overpopulation. when people
are crowded in the cities
, people
are more like to be competitive when choosing a job or going to school. This
means individuals are able to face mental issues such
as depression, anxiety, and isolation by competing with each other.
To sum up
, it is true that moving to the cities
has benefits because of a lot of chances. However
, it has more drawbacks since it will cause unbalanced advancements in our society around the world.Submitted by lym1049 on
