Life in a Big City

Human civilization had to undergo many changes and

developments. Early man lived in caves and searched his food in
the forests. With the passage of time, man has made villages as
well as cities and started living there according to his need and
choice. No doubt, life has its pleasures and pains, comforts and
discomforts and charms and horrors.

“Man’s course begins in a garden, but it ends in a

city.” (Alexander)

The latest and modern medical and educational facilities are

available in a big city. The hospitals and clinics are equipped with
the latest instruments. The educational facilities are also
remarkable in a big city. There are many schools, colleges,
technical institutions and universities. That is why; the people in a
city are advanced, enlightened and well-educated. They have
greater opportunities for employment. There is a great demand for
the educated officers and the skilled workers in government
offices, private companies and factories in a city.
The city people enjoy the latest facilities of transportation and
communication. They can move from one place to another with
speed and comfort. They have modern facilities of communication
like mobile phones and the internet. Cleanliness and proper
hygienic conditions add to the attractions of city life.

City life is millions of people being lonesome together. (Henry

David)
Though the benefits of the city are many, there are also certain
demerits of this life. A city is full of smoke, dirt, dust, garbage,
gases and foul smell. People living in big cities no longer breathe
the fresh air and see any green, open spaces. The loud noise of
vehicles and factories has created troubles everywhere. Though the
industrialization has provided several business benefits but it has
also added to the pollution problems.
A city is always populous. The roads are always full of vehicles.
Here, everyone finds himself in a hurry and worry. Neighbors live
like strangers. One hardly knows who lives the next door.
However, the above-mentioned advantages outweigh the
disadvantages. Cities provide a lot of employment opportunities.
Development takes place faster in cities. One does not remain idle
in a city. Thus, cities add to the economic development of the
nation.
