...in a big city has more advantages than living in the country side while others think differently. For me, I prefer living in a big city. Living in a quiet country side has several advantages. People benefit from clear air, tranquil atmosphere, less traffic and beautiful scene. In addition, people who live in small towns look out each other. This makes them feel secure. Moreover, crime rates are much less than big cities. People are comfortable leaving their doors unlocked. However, living in a metropolitan city has many more advantages. Firstly, many job opportunities are available as there are many companies, banks, offices and international companies. Secondly, there are many facilities and amenities for individuals. Publics amenities will provide services such as sports, arts and computer lessons with very low fee due to government supported programs. In addition, medical facilities and emergency systems are easily assessable when individuals live in big cities. Thirdly, people can have more choices when they buy necessities because there are numerous malls around their neighbourhood. They often buy the same material at a lower price due to bargain sales going on. Fourthly, transportation is extremely important in the modern society, but there are no public transportation systems in small towns, so individuals always use their own cars and walk. On the other hand, there is always public transportation available such as buses, LRTs and subways in big cities...

..."Living in a Big City" Where should we live? There is much controversy about living in a big city or living in a small town. Newlyweds face this problem after they get married. They want the best place to raise their children. Living in a big city, in my opinion, is the best choice because of job opportunities, transportation, and social life. First, attending to the job opportunities issue, we could say it’s a well known fact that big cities concentrate the broadest and most various professional indexes. So, these broad professional profiles also carry along a huge variety when it comes to employments and vacancies. Modern life developed a wide range for laboring performance, and it’s no coincidence that this modern life is often represented from an urban experience. Universities, research institutes, hospitals, health and cultural centers, and many other fundamental institutions are often settled down within a big city’s inwards. In addition, transportation means play an essential role in big cities. Not just only for the multiple solutions they might incorporate to help the traffic (such as, subways, streetcars, speedways, and middle avenues), but also because of the constant intention of lessening the traveling lapse from home to work. Every big city’s blueprints reveal a complex net of intersections, as if streets were arteries establishing the connections between every important core for urban life, which is in other words: a certain city’s own vital fluid. Everything...

...Small Town or Big City I was born and raised in a small country town, where there were more corn fields than businesses. Everybody knew each other and what everyone did; needless to say; when you are young you could not do anything wrong without your family finding out. Living in a small town like this had its ups and downs, but mainly it was a great way to live. You never had to lock your doors at night, because you always felt safe. The only crime you saw was on TV and you could honestly say, that don’t happen here. It made you become close with your family, because they are all you had. The only downside for me was the lack of job opportunities, ones that actually paid you enough to live off of. I moved out of my parents house at the age of 17, when I graduated high school. I had always had a job or two so I could take care of myself and not rely on any help from my parents. By the age of 24, I realized this was not the way I wanted my life to be. My best friend and I decided we would look for work in the city and see if we could find anything. It did not take long for us to find a job that paid more and gave us benefits. The next step for us was to find a place to live and move to the big city. The hardest part for me, was having to say goodbye to my family. Knowing I was making a great decision to better my life, did not matter so much at that point. I felt like I was saying goodbye, forever. Big city here I come! The excitement of something new was so exhilarating...

...The majority of the population prefers living in a big city because of the great advantages that it provides. The big cities are becoming more and more inhabited. There are several advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city. First, most people prefer living in a big city because is a place where the economy is constantly growing, and it is significantly easier to find a good job. Good companies take place in a big city, and these companies provided many jobs with good wages. For example, when my brother graduated from UF in computer science, he began working in the company "Computer Care" in Gainesville. The salary of my brother in this company was 100,000 per year. My brother bought a small house with 2 bedrooms and also a Toyota Corolla 2012. But after three years, my brother receiver a job offer from the "Google" company in New York. Currently, my brother earns 240,000 per year in the company Google in New York. As a result, my brother bought a new house with 5 bedrooms, and also a Ferrari 2015.In this big city, my brother has a better quality of life, and at the same time, he gets his dream working in one of the best IT companies in the world. Second, in a big city we can get what we cannot find in small town. In a big city there are many malls, cinemas, nightclubs, restaurants and sport stations. For example, in Gainesville there are only 20 or 30 nightclubs that close in the early hours of the night; however, in Miami there are over 100 nightclubs that they...

...different our lives are from lots of other people. Our destination is always a big city, like Boston or New York or Washington. I spent my first 29 years living in Boston, so I enjoy visiting my old South Boston neighborhood, riding the subway system I dreaded as a schoolkid, and taking in the museums and historical sites and entertainment I enjoyed so much when I lived there. We stop in lots of small towns on the way to and from the city. Many are similar to our own Gold Beach, Oregon, a quiet, friendly town of 1,500 nestled in a fairly large expanse of open space, in our case the ocean and mountains of the Northwest. I always gain insight into myself and my situation in life when I travel. Typically I feel fortunate to have made the transition from city to country life long ago because I feel at home and comfortable in the country. But the city is still exciting and impressive. Here are what I see as the major benefits and drawbacks between city and small town life: Population density: Even as you approach the city on its main freeway or expressway, cars begin crowding closer together and dart in and out of lanes in an effort to get one or two car lengths ahead of a competitor. In the country there is no such competition. Once on foot, the population of the city seems staggering to a small town person. It reminds you of an ant colony, or a cage with too many rats. Money: Most city dwellers would scoff at the $10 jobs that are coveted in the small town, and they...

...A taste of the big city life An article about advantages and disadvantages in the big city. Development and speed. These are the two words that best describes the big city life for me. Development, because you are in a constant move in your life in every second. You meet new people every day. You learn and you fail. The pressure, can you handle it? It is all about pressure and the speed, the last word, speed. I could say it over and over again. I love it. I love the speed in the daily life, and how quick it all goes. Cars are everywhere. Big, small, blue, green, red, brown, yellow, and you name it. And not to mention the people. There are people all over the place, in every direction and in every corner. There are all kinds of people, and none of them look the same. Different styles and different ways to life their life’s. Of course if you take a look at the Wall Street, the only think you will see is black-suited men with no other interests than their money and how to can be more successful. You have probably already guessed that the article is about “The Big Apple”, which also is known as New York City. Living in New York City has all the stuff dreams are made of, millions of residents and tourist, an extensive public transportation system and all kinds of diverse culture in a tight area. Once I missed my train at the metro. I thought that I would have to wait for a new train for approximately 20-30 minutes, but within a blink of an eye a new one were already there...

...Advantages and disadvantages of city life. Life in the city is not so easy as one can imagine. However, some people say that modern cities are the best thing civilization has produced. Others claim that cities are not fit for living. There are a lot of pluses and minuses of living in a city. But what are they? Firstly, in big cities there are a lot of different entertainments such as cinemas, theaters, clubs, and exhibitions. Countrymen cannot go to the museums or theaters, because many villages are situated far from cities .A further advantage of cities is a wide variety of public transport and it is very easy to get anywhere. Practically in every city there is a metro, the fastest mean of public transport, and people do not spend a lot of their time in traffic jams. As for a village there is no public transport at all and it is very difficult to get anywhere. One more advantage of city life is modern conveniences. In modern cities people have no problems with water .But in villages people face with a problem of lack of water, they cannot use running water all day long. In big cities it is very easy to take care of health, a lot of medical centers and hospitals are situated in every city, and high-qualified specialists will help people even in the most awful situation . As a rule there are no good hospitals in villages and medical services in the countries leave much to be desired. Of course, every big city has disadvantages. For example, air pollution. Every day numerous...

...Compare and Contrast There are people who live in the big city and those who live in a small town. In the long run, it seems as if some people who live in a big city end up in a small town, and vice versa. Many people thrive in a big city while others live comfortably in a small town. There are differences between a small town and a big city in the attractions, traffic, and commute that make them both attractive. Jorge Garcia is a 20 year-old man who is from Longview, Texas. This small town is located in East Texas and is a very friendly place. The town has a decent selection of attractions even though it is small. Longview counts one principle shopping mall, several major shopping centers, and several small retailers. Longview also boasts two movie theaters. In the time Jorge has lived in Longview, he has also counted over fifty restaurants and about five different nightclubs. One of the benefits Jorge loves about living in a small city is the commute. Although Longview has expanded over the years, the traffic is still manageable. Even if...

...country life have also their own advantages and disadvantages. Things, pleasures, scenes entertainments and recreations which one finds in cities are not available in country side and vice versa. City life has its pleasures and pains, its comforts and discomforts and its charms and horrors. To these who live in villages and towns, city life has special appeal, and they desire to visit a city repeatedly. And likewise, city dwellers want to enjoy the simple pleasures if a village away from maddening complexities of city life. For those who live in the rural areas and small towns, life in a big city in surely very attractive. They are happily surprised and sometime as stupefied to find high-rise, multi-storied buildings on the two sides of broad and busy roads. The shape, size and colors of the building structures, whether they are trade centers plazas, government or private offices or residences of rich people are all enchantingly beautiful and impressive. Surely, the fashionable, comparatively newly-built areas of the big cities in other and our countries are tastefully constructed, attentively decorated and carefully maintained. To look at the sky-kissing buildings one feels like being in a city built at the order of Aladdin subbing his magic lamp. If you would know and not be known, live in a city.

...September 2011 Big and Small City Living Have you ever wondered if you’re missing out on the big city living or the small town closeness? Cities and towns are basically the same, but most cities have more to offer. I have lived in a couple of large cities such as Oklahoma City and Tulsa, but I have also lived in several small towns around Oklahoma. Before you decide where you want to live, you might want to look at some of the similarities and differences of Big City living and Small Town living. When you are in a large city and you want to grab something to eat, the decision can be hard because there are so many different places to eat. Big cities have every type of fast food you can imagine such as Chinese, Asian, American, Mexican, Greek, and many more. They also have a huge selection of chain restaurants. One type of restaurant that that you won’t find as often is the Mom and Pop restaurants. These aren’t as successful as they are in smaller cities and towns. Small town cuisine is very limited compared to city food. Most of the restaurants there are family restaurants that have been passed from generation to generation. The fast food selection in small towns is also very limited. Some small towns do not even have a single fast food eatery. In America most of our goods are purchased in stores. In large cities, there is an abundance of stores, everything from a specialty health food store to a party supply store, or even a name brand clothing store. Cities usually have several...

...Essay “Living with Strangers” Minnesota and New York are two thoroughly diverse cities, but still there are exceptions of this belief - they both, like every other city in the world, have their own tacit norms and proprieties. Cultures and societies have through time build ethics, which people outside the given group or civilization won’t understand. It can be everything from simply greeting each other, from rural Minnesota where “hi” slip of people’s tongues like honey to New York where its normal to live side by side with strangers, and addressing others on the street will make you seem ridiculous. This huge culture gap is what inspired Siri Hustvedt to write her anecdote “Living with Strangers”. The text is an essay, which is characterized by several things. It’s a non-fictional text, which means its about something real, and relates to this in an unbiased way. It is a very subjective style, written from a personal point of view, where the writer used own experience and reflections: “When I moved to New York in 1978, I quickly discovered what it meant to live among hordes of strangers…”. You can tell the text is personal by the fact that “I” is used a lot. The way of writing will seem very convincing to the ready. Hustvedt uses the ethos argument and therefore seems truthful and upstanding as a writer about this particular topic. The title represents the main topic quite well, as it refers to a very common paradox in urban societies - we have been to the moon...

...Where is the most ideal living? if you have two choices: living in city or in country, which one will you choose? I think the most important decision to a happy life is where you choose to spend the rest of your life and how you want to live. In the country, you can have as many pets as you want, and you can play your music as loud as you want without the neighbors complaining. The country life is quiet and peace, country living look like a nice dream: hearing natural music, seeing sights, and planting trees.. However, big city life is more appealing for the younger generation. Many young people would be bored to tears if they had to live in a country setting. The big city is full of exciting activities for the younger crowd, such as a variety of clubs, pubs, concerts, football games, and hanging out with their friends at the local mall. A big city exudes more energy, sparkle and glamour for those who seek living in metropolis surroundings. I also think country life is more healthy. There are less pollution, fewer factories and less noise in the country. Trees are more abundant in the country, which means cleaner air to breathe. You can sleep better at night without all the noises of the city. There is far less crime in the country, making it a safer place to live. country people look younger than their ages and longer life because they enjoy relax living, fresh food and fresh air, In contrast, people in city are able to look like young by doctors, and have longer from taking...
