OUTLINE

BIG CITIES:

 TECHNOLOGY
 CONSTANT NOISE
 BETTER EDUCATION
 BETTER AND MORE OPPORTUNITIES
 POLUTION, SO THERE ARE MORE DESEASES
 INSECURITY

FARM:

 BETTER AIR
 SAME DAILY ACTIVITIES
 MORE SECURITY
 CALM
 SOMETIMES, THERE AREN´T ALL THE BASIC SERVICES
 THE EDUCATION IS NOT AS GOOD AS IT WOULD BE IN A CITY SO, IN CONSEQUENCE,
THERE ARE LESS OPPORTUNITIES, EVENTHOUGH IT DOESN’T MEAN PEOPLE FROM
FARMS CAN´T BECOME SUCCESFUL HOWEVER, IT WOULD NEED MORE EFFORT.

Rumspringa has come: the city or the farm, that’s the real question. A country is based in both,
work in farms and work in big cities however, every person is a completely different world and
what is the perfect life for one might be a nightmare for others. Cities and farms are like yin and
yang even though they are opposites each one needs the other. Just like a human being needs
a heart, lungs and a brain, a country needs the farms and the cities.

Life in a big citiy may not be ideal for people who need peace in their life but for those like to
have new experiences and opportunities every day. Even though a normal day in a farm is full
of activities, these tasks are always the same and do not suppose new emotions for the people
who make them, on the other hand people who live in a city face new obstacles in almost every
aspect of their life and have to think fast in order to get over them as fast as they can because,
that’s another huge difference, life in the city is fast unlike life in a farm that is really calm.

With each different life style there are some benefits but also some disadvantages, for instance,
living in a farm ensures that the air you are breathing is pure and that your lungs are going to be
healthier than the ones from people who breathe polluted air daily but not only that, the stress
people who live in big cities have, without even noticing, plus the junk food that they chose to
eat almost every day, derivates in important health issues such as heart and pressure problems
that reduces the life quality in contrast to people in farms that are healthier.

People living in big cities are aware of the constant technology advances and that creates in
them a false need of getting everything new they see on TV or the internet and every time you
get something you are not satisfied so you need to buy something new, however this material
things give you some kind of happiness. While people in big cities need new things to be happy,
people in farms learn to appreciate what they have and are happy with that most of the time.
Living in the farm or in the city as everything in life have both, a dark and a bright side however
it all depends on the person to chose which one is better for what I expect. Maybe, the best
choice is to get something from both parts however, this is not as easy as it sounds so just take
a shot and make every second count to have the best life you can.
