Living in a big city

Different individual with different characteristics would choose variable ways to express their life when talked about living. For most of us who fit ourselves very well in urban life usually take conveniences for granted that we don’t really appreciate the advantages we have when living in a big city. However, I would like to illustrate several great benefits of living in a metropolitan area.
First of all, according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the very basic one is the physiological need. Among many of the physiological needs, food is what I care the most. However, eating must be the essential advantage for people who live in a big city. The living pace in urban area is usually fast and sometimes irregular; consequently, the food must be served fast, readily and some restaurants will open up late to satisfy the customers. Other needs such us business meal and banquette places are relevant to the amount of demands in a big city contrary to that in a country area.
In the second place, the artistic and culture resources are abundant in the metropolitan area. Theaters, museums, concert halls and all other vibrant activities are available in the urban area which would attract people even from rural part of the country and would satisfy the different tastes of picky audiences. It is indisputable that the delicate and crateful creative artistic works that give the city a different look in contrast to the countryside. The flourish varieties of literature and art activities really are the most attractive advantages for me to live in a metropolitan area.
Last but not least, many of the advantages could be counted; consequently, to live in a big city has several disadvantages as well. The pollution of all kinds is very obviously in a big city. For instance, who can ride a bike or motor without getting a black face after you go home? Who can drink the water directly from the tap without at least boiling first? These may be the reasons for those urban haters who would claim as disadvantages to live in a big city.
In summary, although several disadvantages are listed above, there is no doubt that the convenience to live in the urban area is a great benefit for many of us. The benefits such us eating and the access to different kinds of activities are all essential to constitute to a colorful life in the metropolitan area. Those details of life are the advantages to live in a bid city.
