People have different views as to where is more beneficial for children: urban or rural areas. While there are health benefits to living in rural areas, I believe that urban life is much better in terms of practical factors.


Proponents of living in rural areas cite various reasons to support their stance. When children reside in villages, they may not come across factories  which release not only toxic gases, but also loud noises to the environment, thereby  maintaining their well-being by clear environment. Such essential health-improving places can ultimately make it easier for children to live longer and without diseases. This is particularly beneficial for those who have respiratory maladies. A good case in point is, my countryside, Karatepa where individuals usually have higher life expectations due to the fact that there are a lot of green spaces but factories which allow air to be contaminated.


On the other hand, in my opinion, despite benefits of living in a rural area, there are greater advantages to  living in cities. Through a city life, children can be able to study in modernized schools where students are taught by well-qualified teachers, leading to high possibilities to excel in their preferred field in the future. As a result, they can earn a substantial amount of money which can make their ends meet, invest income generating and save up to future emergencies. This, in turn, can pave the way for long-term financial stability and freedom.


In conclusion, while it can be useful for children to live in villages thanks to health benefits, I believe that living in cities are far advantageous when we look at its practical factors.
