in the past most people lived in small villages where everyone knew everyone else. Nowadays, most people live in large cities where they only know a few people in their area. What do you think were the advantages and disadvantages of living in small community?
In the modern world is not the same lifestyle compared to in the past. There are advantages and disadvantages to live in a small villages.
I believe there are three main benefits. Firstly everyone communicated and help each other really well, therefore no one felt lonely. Secondly the small community had better environment with fresh weather, food and clean water than the large cities. As a consequence, living in there was good for people's health. Also there was few crime in countryside. So people did not worry about theft and children could play safety in the street. Finally, there are not many factories and traffic, so living in there was quite and peaceful.
I think the disadvantages are that not man activities and entertainment for everyone, so they felt bored. The investment in country haven't attention yet, so villagers really hard to access to the good health care and education as well as transportation. On the other hand, almost people worked in farm and field and they earned less money. This meant that the reason if young people were ambitious they had to move to cities and found a better job.In my view, there were a bit problem about sceret because they know each other so anything happen in any families will be public after one day.
In conclusion, in my opinion older people were happy with living in a small village. However nowadays, there are more advantages to living a large city and it is better for developing our life.
