City versus Suburban Life: An Exhilarating or Relaxed Lifestyle

Single people and families at some point in their lives choose what type of lifestyle is best for them by living; they decide to either live in the city or in the suburbs. This is a decision that people make that serves them best. Both places are good places to live, but are similar and different; however, there are similarities and differences between them. People have to choose amongst many factors in regards to where they are going to live. Living in the city and the suburbs both offer a good living, but both have downfalls.
Their healthcare, the surrounding culture they want to be around, and occupation choices tend to be deciding factors. People living in the city have a variety of different healthcare choices to make for themselves and their children. The city offers more healthcare opportunities due to having a larger amount of hospitals within them. In the city, one would find that healthcare is more specialized because of the city’s high population. This means that the city would have much better healthcare because of the greater worry for keeping its people healthy. If one were to live in the city, then they would have a better chance at receiving the best healthcare possible. People living in the suburbs do not have many options to choose from when it comes to healthcare. Suburbs do not have very high populations, so people who work in

hospitals within the suburbs would not be as specialized as doctors found in the city. There would also not be as many hospitals within the suburbs for this same reason. These doctors in the suburbs would also not be as specialized as doctors in the city because there is not a very high concern of illness or disease. Healthcare in the suburbs and healthcare in the city are very different from each other. Culture in the suburbs is not very diverse; things like foreign food would not be found easily within them. Most people who live in the

Suburbia was the answer to America’s discontent. It promoted the ideal community; with less crime and congestion. Suburbanites wanted to raise their families away from the cities in a wholesome, controlled, idealistic neighborhood. Suburbia became this romanticized idea.…

    Don Anselmo and Mrs.Higgins are similar because they both stand up for what they want. They have in common that they are both being strong in the beginning.

    Middle Class In America

    • 8 Pages

    Suburbia continues to be vital in representing American living standards today. Throughout the 1930s, and 40s, the common young American man was either striving to protect his family during the economic tornado of the Great Depression, or was fighting for his country at war. During this period in America, the middle class was largely comprised of industrial workers, and unemployed men that were low on America’s economic food chain. Middle class living standards usually were in crammed apartments in the city, and wages were so low that many Americans struggled to survive the harship brought on by the Great Depression. However, thanks to a booming post-war wartime economy, the American worker was able to afford housing, cars, and other appliances…

    • 1348 Words
    • 6 Pages

    By 1985, The United States of America had become considered a suburban nation. Today, half of all Americans live in suburban communities that have grown outward, surrounding the nations cities. The suburbs have continued and will continue to grow outward with the growth of the population and the evolution of America's culture. When looking at how suburbs developed, there are many arguable factors that played and still play roles in the ongoing move of human society away from crowded cities. Like any species thats population would grow at a rapid rate, humans began to outgrow the communities they had built and had a demand for more space to reproduce and live. The furthering in technology, especially transportation, played a huge role in allowing the suburbs to develop as large and fast as they did. However it was the matter of class that dictated who was allowed and who could afford to move out of the cities. As suburbs continued to develop, this higher class was responsible for the influence of federal laws that continued the suburbs growth. They were also responsible for creating the idea of how the American family should be and selling it, spurring an entirely new 'middle' class of Americans. The evolution of American suburbs began out of necessity, but the way in which they developed is attributed to the pull of a variety of social and technological influences throughout the past few hundred years.…

    Imagine living in an area where an appointment to see a primary care physician takes weeks or sometimes months. Or even worse, imagine if there were no primary care physicians in your area at all. These are realities many people in rural areas of the United States face. According to the Bureau of Health Professions, there are “2,100 rural underserved areas in the United States” (Health Resources & Services Administration, 2001) with roughly “20% of the U.S. population residing in a primary medical care Health Professional Shortage Area.” (Health Resources & Services Administration, 2007) The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality states that Americans who reside in rural areas are more likely to:…
