Issues in big cities
These days,more and more people prefer urban life because of all the opportunities it brings about, namely job opportunity, recreatitional facilities, decent education and high standard of living. However, once they settle down in a city, they have to face up to more than one problem.
To begin with, the life in the urban city is also very stressful and busy. City dwellers often have a hectic pace of life, which means that they rarely have enough time for recreational activities. People have to work hard and compete fiercely to earn a decent living, which puts people under a lot of pressure. Moreover, working hard and extra working hours mean that urban residents have very short time for their family and friends. Many people have complained that parents in the cities do not pay much attention to their children and people tend to talk less to each other.
Furthermore, people have to put up with heavy pollution in the city. There are many kinds of pollution such as air, water, land, moise and even light pollution. This is understandable because there are numerous pollutants in the city. For example, exhaust fumes from vehicles or emissions from factories are the main causes of air pollution. Pollution is detrimental to human health. It can create some incurable diseases for people such as lung cancer when we inhale too much fume and dusk.
Another serious problem is unemployment.While many people move to the city with hope of find a job, their dreams turn sour due to the competitive job market. In the city the demand for the quality of workforce is getting higher and higher. Poorly-trained workers from rural areas may become jobless in the city.
In conclusion, should people want to move from the countryside to the urban areas, they have to consider all the advantages and disadvantages before making up their mind.
_________1. | There are more opportunities than problems for people living in the urban areas |
