6月27日101009NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Compared with people who live in cities, people who live in rural areas can take better care of their families.
The last several years have witness a huge change of society. Under urbanization process, more and more people moves from rural areas to cities. However, is there really so many merits to living in the cities? Some critics hold the opinion that people living in rural areas can take better care of their families. I, personally, do not agree their contention.
To begin with, facilities, especially health care system, are much more advanced in cities than rural areas. With strong supports of technology and capital, family members can be well treated once he or she is ill. However, partly due to poverty, the hospital facilities in rural areas are always not that abundant and advanced as cities. Take my aunt, Jessica, who lived in countryside for example. Last year, Jessica caught a strange headache, but when she went to local hospital, the doctor told her that there was nothing wrong. Jessica went back home, but the headache got worse and worse. After a month, Jessica cannot stand the pain and went to a hospital in cities. To everyone’s supervise, after CT scan, the doctor found that there was a tumour in her brain. Fortunately, it was not too late. Had the tumour excised in the city hospital, Jessica become well again. There is no doubt family members can get better hospital treatment in cities.
In addition, various entertainment places give people a lot of choice to spend time with families, which is helpful to strengthen the relation between families. Especially of the old, they will not felt lonely, and families getting-together avoid the old feel depressed. Nowadays, it is quite common to see news that the old die because of loneliness and depression. Those so-called empty-nest elders often live in rural areas, and their children already move to cities. Because of long distance, their children cannot go home often. Thus, it is self-evident that empty-nest elders get no care from their children, and they are more inclined to become depressed.
Admittedly, in cities, people are busier at work, which may squeeze the time to spend with families. However, modern transportation systems largely shorten the distance and save the time. With the help of cars, trains, and plains, families in cities, even in different cities, can get together easily. On the contrary, such convenient transportation seems to be impossible in rural areas.
In summary, with the above-mentioned reason, I, definitely stand for the opinion that people living in cities can take better care of families than those living in rural areas. |
