Life in rural and urban

What influences can individual to select a place for living over the other? The place they choose will affect their way of life. People may think rural living is more relaxed, and that urban living may be more fun. These two place both have advantages from the others. On the other hand, having advantages means they must have disadvantages. Each characteristic can influence people’s decision.
Urban life is a modern living condition, everything is well developed like transportation. By using bus, taxi and train, you can go to anywhere without driving your own car. It is so convenient for the daily life. Since it was developed, more and more industrial factories were built. They have polluted the air and make the resident easy to get ill. Moreover, it may cause some specific urban illness. On the other hand, rural life has fresh air which is good for our health. More flat land and green plants are good for our eyes. However, rural areas is far from the city. The transportation is poor, and it is hard to go anywhere without a car. So the people who living there may waste a lot of time on transport.
In the daily life, people living in urban areas have a busy life. For a college student, they may need to go to school during the daytime and work at nighttime. They may also need to spend extra time on entertainment with their friend, even if they are really tired. Life in rural areas seems more relaxed. Although they don’t have so much joy as urban, they have an easier life. People in rural areas may only need to take care their own business such as farmland. By the way, they are the boss of the business. They don’t need to rush to work on time.
Finally, urban people may have more stress. Since they live in dense population areas, people get more friction to each other. They are always being compared to others. It forces them start having competition between each other in school, work and everything. This will make the society a improve, yet this is the main source of stress. Thought rural have a poor society structure, they are close between their neighborhoods. They can reduce the stress by talking to other with their free time. There is less competitive for them too because they have less chance in doing similar job like produce corn or fruit.
By considering both advantages and disadvantages, people will choose their best fit area to live. There is no perfect place without and problem to live in this world. Everyone has a different habit of living. Their habit is the main reason why people keep immigrating around the world.
