Steem engagement challenge-S12/W2|I would love to prefer(A Metropolis lifestyle)

Hello friends,

It's week two already and am excited about it because I would be sharing with you on my selection between metropolis and village

Which lifestyle do you prefer, A Metropolis or A Village? And Why?

A city source

I prefer a metropolis.

A metropolis is basically a developed city, town or state. Developed with all the necessary amenities to go with with it such as electricity, good roads, good water, beautiful buildings and the rest.

A metropolis lifestyle is basically living life in the developed town or city. How you go about your daily life here.

City life reflects to urban lifestyle while village life is that of a rural lifestyle. Life in both lifestyles has its ups and downs.

I prefer metropolis lifestyle because it exposes me to the amazing power of civilization, given me the opportunities to explore.

Life in the big city is quite different from life in the village, a lot of factors make city life more accommodating to that of the village;

•Education In the city, we have enough chances for a better education. You see good schools that have all the facilities for conducive learning in the city but the village education is not so.

•Good medical facilities In the cities, you can find good and well-equipped hospitals ready for service. Even the poor can get free medical check ups and most of these hospitals have good and trained doctors and nurses who are ready and willing to serve the masses.

•Employment opportunities Employment opportunity is the greatest advantage gotten from the city. People with different qualifications can easily get a job that suits their field of study but in the village, the only available job there is farming and no one would love to do that after spending years in school.

•Amusement and recreation The city provides us with recreational centers where we can enjoy life with friends and family. The cinema, the restaurants, the amusement parks, etc all these places can serve as site seeing and hang-out for a better refreshment.

Share some good side and challenging sides of your choice

The good side of a metropolis

•Upgraded infrastructure and social amenities

In the city, you find a lot of social amenities like good roads, electricity, piped water, good hospitals, etc.... These social amenities help to live a healthy life. Some health cases may arise in the rural area and the only solution would be to go to the city and get it done, so you see, the metropolis is still the best.

•Opportunities Oh!, we have lots of opportunities in the city. Opportunity to meet and develop pleasant attitudes, meet new friends, interact with people, and visit places you have never dreamt of. Lifestyle in the city is so enjoyable and more entertaining. Even varieties of job opportunities are available in the metropolis.

•Transportation Transportation in the city is very easy to get. We have train transport, air, water and road transport. You either choose which you prefer to go with. You have various options for transportation in the city unlike in the village. The transportation in the city makes things easier and faster.

The bad side of a metropolis

•Less privacy The city is overcrowded with people. I live in Lagos state which has an overpopulated result in my country. I usually do not have my privacy at night because most times, they party all night and play loud music which causes noise in the neighborhood.

•High cost of living Wow! This is what the city is known for. Everything is so high in my city when I compare the cost of some items in my village to that of the city, we have a clear difference and it can never change because it has been so. The cost of houses is so outrageous in the city. Demands are so high, hence the economy gets higher day by day.

•Problem of Traffic congestion Because the city is always crowded with People and their cars, we experience the problem of traffic and example is my city Lagos Nigeria. There is always traffic and we find it hard every day going to work or coming back.

Air pollutionsource

•Different types of pollution is found There are lots of pollution experienced in the city or a metropolis ranging from air pollution, water pollution and the rest.

Do you think lifestyle and environment often influence thought processes? Describe

Yes, the environment we find ourselves in today, can influence our thought system or pattern. Often, the space we inhabit shapes the way we act and the way we think.

Usually, when I'm surrounded by nature, maybe a forest or water fonts, I feel more at ease and inspired. The beauty and gentleness of the environment reflect quality thoughts and a sense of peace.

On the other hand, when I'm in a busy city just like my city, my thoughts are nothing more than the immediate task at hand. The busyness of the environment cannot grant peace to develop good thoughts, it will always direct the thought to where it shouldn't go.

But that's not all, living in a city gives me great exposure to life, and how things are done in this present 21st century.

Have you not noticed that kids raised in the village and kids raised in the city are different. They do not think alike. Sometimes, those in the village have a thinking pattern that is backward. Even their dressing seems somehow. When they enter they city for the first time, they hardly fit in.

I invite my friends @ninapenda @princa @lhorgic to join this contest.
