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?

One of the widely discussed issues nowadays is the population in rural areas is declining. It is undeniable that moving from one area to another has become a usual thing in our society.

However

, there is no absolute agreement as some people find living in the

cities

beneficial,

while

others consider everything associated with moving to a big city negatively. Surely, there are both pros and cons to living and building your life in the metropolis, but I believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. One of the main positives of living in the city is that opportunities are more available rather than in the

countryside

.

For instance

, you can find courses or activities that you like.

In addition

, there are a lot of fields in which you can improve your knowledge,

such

as sports, learning a foreign language, and others. Another advantage is that in big

cities

the income of the population is much higher. A good example here is that if in the

countryside

your salary is approximately $7 per hour, in

cities

nearly $15 per hour.

Furthermore

, if you work in a company and you are a professional, you can get a promotion. Turning to the other side of the argument, despite of advantages there are disadvantages. In the metropolises, the population rising each year, and because of that, the government cannot find jobs for all of them.

In addition

, living in good condition is expensive and it has some trouble.

For instance

, houses and even

apartments'

price to rent is high in comparison to in the

countryside

. Another major disadvantage is that air and noise pollution in the city is high, compared to the

countryside

.

This

climate is not suitable for all people, and it can be harmful to your health. Having weighed everything mentioned up, we can come to the conclusion that living in

cities

is trouble,

however

, it has a lot of benefits to your development as a person. In my opinion, having chances to improve your knowledge is the main reason to move.
