City life is better than country life
The regions where people on earth live have characteristics, which differentiate them as being urban or cities or as being country or rural. Cities may be regarded as a type of an urban area even though the term city is usually accorded to a region by the administrators, the law or history (Dictionary, Oxford English, 102). There are no characteristics that distinguish cities from towns and there are different types of cities throughout the world. However, it is acknowledged that cities are urban areas and urban areas are defined as regions where the population density is high and where there are a large number of human features.

It is in cities that most businesses carry out their operations. Rarely will one ever find corporations based in the countryside. Therefore, it is easier to have access to modern services and merchandise when one is living in cities. As a result of the easy availability of the goods and services, city dwellers have more opportunities to technologies that make life easier and more enjoyable. This is in stark contrast to people who live in the countryside who may not, for example, be able to enjoy fast food whenever they want to. Also for a vast majority of people, countryside is very calm and to some extent, boring, because shopping is harder and difficult since shops are not opened at a convenient time for instance late in the night.
Life in cities is more enjoyable in comparison to life in the countryside. To begin with, as a result of the high population density, the social scene is normally very vibrant. There are opport...
