City Rat
Firstly, the technology is more progressive. The standard of living is definitely higher compared to the countryside. This is partly because the city is close to all amenities, hence life is more convenient. A city rat has the advantage of having better access to shops, food, internet, etc. Besides that, getting from one place from another is easier, since there are more means of transport. The city rat will have better accommodation too. A city rat will also receive better education, as the level of education is significantly higher, and people will consistently improve because of the competitive community. There are also more jobs opportunities in the city too.
However, pollution is severe in the city. Air pollution, water pollution, sound pollution and land pollution caused by irresponsible acts deteriorate our health. In addition, crimes occurred frequently. People lived in a constant fear of being robbed, kidnapped, etc. Most importantly, city rats lead fast-paced and stressful lives, resulting in many affected by mental illness.
In contrast, pollution and crimes rarely occurred in the city. People lead a peaceful, relaxed and healthier life. Furthermore, relationships between people are much better. For instance, country rats recognise almost everyone in the village, unlike city rats who are too occupied with their respective responsibilities.
The technology in the country is not so advanced. Life is not so convenient compared to country rats as they have limited access to shops, hospitals, etc. They also face the problem of lack of resources. The education received in the country is not as good as the city. There are also limited jobs available.
In conclusion, I prefer to be a city rat as being one is more beneficial as compared to a country rat. What about you? Please comment.
Your statements are very clear. Very good elaboration. (And one more thing, are you a rat?)
ReplyDeleteI like your post. However, I would be the country rat because now there is more hospitals and shops available now, as the government will start to add jobs. But then, as you said there are healthy and relaxed lives in the country, why do you say that there must be more hospitals and medical services when everyone is healthy and sane?
