Living Conditions In The City And Country

Living Conditions in the City and Country Man has always been attracted to city life. From the ancient Egyptians we see that city life was very important. Cities were the cultural backbone of the civilization since it was a place of trading, working, and meeting with one another. This trend is beginning to change though as we become more technologically advanced. People are moving out of the city and into the country or suburb areas. These days people are concerned about pollution, convenience, and raising there children. These reasons could be why the population has shifted.

Pollution is a problem in cities today. Cities contain a large amount of people in a relatively small amount of space. Most of these people have cars that put out toxins into the atmosphere. Among the cars and trucks you have the heaters and A/C units that keep the building at a comfortable temperature that also puts out toxins. In most cities there is the problem of smog. A fog like substance that is composed of carbon monoxide gases that when reacted with the sun fall to the earth forming smog. Many people have decided that the pollution is to much for them and have decided to move to the suburbs to attain a healthier environment. Since there is not as many people in one condensed area pollution is a lot less than in the city.

Another difference between the two environments is convenience. When people began moving out of the city the stores moved out with them. It use to be more convenient to live in the city because everything that was needed was at your disposal. When the stores moved out it became more convenient to live in the suburbs and country areas than in the city. The city is convenient though if you work in it. It's much easier to get to work if you live in the city since the commute is a shorter distance.

Last, but not least is the conditions for raising children. City life on children can be hard. Most inner city schools don't have enough money and are over crowded. Inner
