a childhood in either the country or a city
There are advantages and disadvantages to a childhood in either the country or a city. It is hard to say which is better. Growing up in the country means a certain amount of isolation. You are in a small town or on a farm and not with a lot of people. Even more important, the people you meet every day tend to be just like you. Most will be the same race as you, have the same background as you, and will have gone to the same schools as you. In the city, the people you meet are all different. There are different races and different cultures. You get a more interesting mix.

City people tend to come from a lot of different places and move around a lot. So, there is not the sense of community in the city that you have in the country. People in the city can live in the same apartment building for twenty years and never get to know their neighbors. In the country, everybody knows everybody. For a child, this means the country is more secure. A child can get lost or hurt in the city and have no one to turn to. In the country, everyone is a neighbor. People in the country feel connected to each other.

A child growing up in the city have the advantage of a lot of interesting and exciting places to visit. He or she can go to the zoo,museums, art galleriers and exciting places to visit. There are a lot of restaurants with different kinds of food. It is easy to see every new movie that comes out. Children in the country do not have a lot of these activities nearby.
