Country Life and City Life
Man is living both in cities and villages. Cities have prospered but the importance of country life has not lessened. In this modern competitive world, needs in city life have increased because most of the modern facilities are still found in the cities. The development of the society depends both on the development of cities and villages. Cities produce useful things with the raw materials supplied by the villages. In the cities, life is very hectic and competitive and people live in a programmed environment. On the other hand, in the villages, environment is fresh and easy. Modern facilities are available in the cities only. Most of the villages lack modern facilities. For good medical facilities and higher degrees, people have to go to the cities. In the cities, people lead an artificial life in gigantic buildings. But in the villages, one can lead a humble life in the lap of nature. Despite various merits and demerits, both lives have their charms. We can improve our society by developing both cities and villages.
