Practically in every city there is a metro, the fastest mean of public transport, and people do not spend a lot of their time in traffic jams. As for a village there is no public transport at all and it is very difficult to get anywhere. One more advantage of city life is modern conveniences.

...The rural women migrate to the city to work because these young women want to earn some income, try to fight against their typical destiny ( get marry and be a house wife in their young age) , find an opportunity for self development and to experience the metropolitan life. However, these young women have underestimated the hardships of living in the city such as Beijing. There are many disadvantages according to the article that these young women encountered while migrated to Beijing such as labor exploitation from a local employer( pay less than the standard wage, work in a sweat shop and long hour), gender discrimination, and sexual violence. Rural women are the target of the labor exploitation because they are lack of capital resources to be independent on their own, lack of education, and the traditional patriarchal society. Some other major disadvantages that these rural women are facing are the risk of losing their jobs anytime after they pass twenty five year old and being deported by local authority( due to the big volume of migrant workers in the city and a the unwillingness of a local owner to employ an employer who passes twenty five). There is no doubt that rural Chinese Women have more freedom in making their own decisions compared to the past, but the question is at what cost does this come? It is hard to believe that women nowadays have given the full legal protections but still have to pay a high price to prove their abilities. Their contributions are being...

...Candace Thackeray C. Demo ENG 100 06/08/2015 City vs. Rural Many people have debates on whether it’s better to live in a city or a rural environment. There are many differences, advantages and disadvantages of the two. It solely depends on the individuals work lifestyle. Cities have a much higher success rate for businesses. Here are some advantages of living in a city and some disadvantages of living in a rural environment. There is a big difference in means of transportation between city life and rural life. Cities have bus and train routes for people to utilize for commuting around the city, the routes also run through surrounding cities as well, making it easier to travel further when the individual has no vehicle or wants to save on gas. The cities transportation system operates throughout the day and night, making it more reliable to those traveling with extended or flexible schedules. In a rural area; homes, businesses, and shopping areas are further apart, so it’s likely to have a huge lack in means of transportation other than one’s own vehicle. Cities, having larger populations, an abundance of businesses and apartment buildings, makes it easier to find a neighbor or someone that resides relatively close for carpooling. With the distance between residences, businesses, shopping centers and the smaller population in rural areas, finding someone to car pool with may be difficult. With cities being so compacted, people have shorter distances to travel...

...September 2011 Big and Small City Living Have you ever wondered if you’re missing out on the big city living or the small town closeness? Cities and towns are basically the same, but most cities have more to offer. I have lived in a couple of large cities such as Oklahoma City and Tulsa, but I have also lived in several small towns around Oklahoma. Before you decide where you want to live, you might want to look at some of the similarities and differences of Big City living and Small Town living. When you are in a large city and you want to grab something to eat, the decision can be hard because there are so many different places to eat. Big cities have every type of fast food you can imagine such as Chinese, Asian, American, Mexican, Greek, and many more. They also have a huge selection of chain restaurants. One type of restaurant that that you won’t find as often is the Mom and Pop restaurants. These aren’t as successful as they are in smaller cities and towns. Small town cuisine is very limited compared to city food. Most of the restaurants there are family restaurants that have been passed from generation to generation. The fast food selection in small towns is also very limited. Some small towns do not even have a single fast food eatery. In America most of our goods are purchased in stores. In large cities, there is an abundance of stores, everything from a specialty health food store to a party supply store, or even a name brand clothing store. Cities usually have several...

...independent living home that is in need of a few measures to become more attractive for patients. Despite other independent living having the same care as Happy Trails, they are actually the most convenient independent living home facility near the city due to traffic and road congestion. Happy Trails will now need to build on to their long term care and to do this they will have to undergo some budget cuts. They have since reduced the overtime of their staff and have let go of their registered nurses. When the registered nurses left Happy Trails, they were replaced by Licensed Practical Nurses who don't get paid as much and get fewer benefits. These nurses are now thinking of joining a union that is also representing other independent living homes in the city. As members of a consulting firm, the LPN's and Happy Trails are now asking for advice. The Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) at Happy Trails, LLC seem a little uncomfortable with them doing the same job in the suburbs as all the other companies, from the same industry, located within the city, yet Happy Trail’s LPNs receive less pay, and less benefits. It is not recommended for Happy Trails’ employees to unionize, because it is a company that because of the demographical location that it currently is in, cannot afford to pay, or compensate, more to the employees. The LPNs at Happy Trails need to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of bringing the union to their place of work. The advantages that...
