more friends in the community since it is small. The village people always try to
protect their traditional habits and culture. The village has clean air and the
environment is very beautiful. The village has less noise and rush. So the pollution is
less. The village has not lot of vehicles. So roads are less dangerous for driving
cycling. They can get fresh vegetables and fresh fruits. The environment of the
village is pleasant and silent and it has scenic beauty. The village has not only good
points, but also it has bad points. The village has intelligent people. But many
people are not educated. Villagers children go to the villages school. They are not
go to the citys school. They have difficult to keep up with new developments in
their field or profession. Same day villagers live same place. Village people have to
face many difficulties for their lives , like traveling problems. They have to go to the
city for supply their needs.

Difference Between Village Life and City Life!

It has been heard for ages that the lifestyle varies between a city and village.
Definitely there is a great difference in the lifestyle among people living in villages
and cities. Neither of them is above one another, but definitely has their own
advantages and disadvantages.

It is considered that life in a city is almost equal to heaven and is wonderful and
enjoyable. The reason behind such kind of thinking or feeling is only because, cities
get expanded and more opportunities are made available for the people flooding in.
New ventures, experiments and socializing happen in cities. The doors for each
opportunity are more open in cities when compared to villages and therefore the
facilities and comfort would be different from what you may find in villages.

Cities provide great facilities for education, medical treatments, job opportunities
etc. which makes life more settled and takes it to the next level. The life led in a city
is more enjoyable with the kind of amenities made available there.

However things are different in villages. Though the lifestyle is not as advanced as
what you see in the cities, the culture and attitude of people are more warm and
welcoming. They are more considerate and know each other in the village.

For any need or help you could definitely rely on your neighbors at any hour of the
day. They are more friendly and more onto the traditional kind of practices and
believes and are not gadget or tech savvy people. For them, the daily need to be
met is itself taken as an enjoyment and all their works are dived and shared and
helped by each other.

When coming to the kind of food habits that people of both these places follow;
people living in cities are more vulnerable to many diseases because of their
sedentary lifestyle and fast food intake. With inappropriate exercising and large
intake of fast food, the fast moving crowd compromises on their health which would
have to be heavily paid off later in life. However, in villages, people stick to the old

homemade food habits and since transportation is still to be up to the mark, a lot of
exercising happens and this helps them to remain fit and healthy in the long run.

Coming to the health of people in regard with pollution. Since cities are heavily
populated and each member having vehicles, the amount of pollution is extremely
high in cities and this has led to great amount of pollution and allergic diseases,
even in small kids.

However, in villages the question of pollution does not come up to that level of what
it is there in cities and hence fresher and less polluted air is available, which is good
for both health and mind. People are more systematic and scheduled and get their
work done by themselves rather than calling up or outsourcing the day to day
household chores.

For more expansion and growth, one has definitely be at the cities as they have
more opportunities that would help one grow professionally. However, to understand
the moral values and culture of a state or a place, you definitely need to spent some
part of your life in a village and also to enjoy and understand the beauty of nature in
all its true colors and aspects. City life is mostly preferred by the youth and
youngsters who love to be trendy, energetic and open to changes, while village life
is opted by the elderly group who wish to have a peaceful life.

CITY LIFE VS VILLAGE LIFE

Village life is better than city life because.........

The cost of living is very high in the city. Most goods are very expensive. There is no
fresh air and pure water. The environment is polluted with dust, smoke, garbage and
dioxide gases from factories. Most of the people who live in the city are corrupted.
So there are lots of crimes in the city. Many thefts and murders often take place in
the city. The city is always busy and noisy. There are a lot of vehicles and people in
the road. The streets are dusty and unclean. So it is hard to lead a healthy life in the
city. As well as there are so many advantages in the village life. Mainly the people of
the village live in unity and peace. The villagers earn money very hard and earn
money enough for live. So they live less competition with each other. So they can
reach a good position. They have more friends in the community since it is small.
The village people always try to protect their traditional habits and culture. The
village has clean air and the environment is very beautiful. The village has less
noise and rush. So the pollution is less. The village has not lot of vehicles. So roads
are less dangerous for driving cycle. They can get fresh vegetables and fresh fruits.
The environment of the village is pleasant and silent and it has scenic beauty. The
city is full of chemical, if you want to eat sweet you have to eat many chemical
present in sweet like chocolates but in village sweets are made up of pure ghee and
milk.

Sometime you may be think, the city life is better than village life. However there
are so many advantages and disadvantages in city life and village life. Actually the
city life is more comfortable. As well as there are more opportunities for people to
progress in their lives. There are a lot of facilities for people in the city and they

face many difficulties for their lives , like traveling problems. They have to go to the
city for supply their needs. Although the life in the city is more comfortable than
village, I like village life than city.

Living in the city is better than living in the village

Today's life has many difficulties and people are the victims, so they plan to make it
easy as they can. One of these experiences is migrating from villages to cities. I
think that living in the city is better than living in the village for many reasons. Here,
I'm going to write about three reasons behind migration which are enormous
facilitation of services, near our work and the amount of freedom gained.

The first reason for living in city is that it has more services than in a village such as
hospitals, airport, commercial complexes, and big parks. These services attract
people to live in city because they find anything they want. For example, in holiday
people want to go out of their homes, so they can find a lot of places to visit, but in
villages there are few services.

The second reason is that it's near our work and people now want to live near their
work to be able to return to their families everyday to become relaxed and to take
care for their families. Also, when people live in villages and work in cities they face
a lot of difficulties such as they should return every week to their village and that is
very tiring because of long roads and car accidents.

The last reason is that freedom because people in city are more open and they have
more knowledge. For example, when you are in the city you can wear any kind of
clothes but you can't do that in the village. In addition, when you are living in cities
you can depend on yourself but in village you must fallow your family.

In conclusion, I think living in cities is better than living in village. That's because
many reasons but here I wrote about three reasons behind migration which are near
our work, the amount of freedom gained and enormous facilitation of services.

In Certain cases, never cross your mind that City life is better than village life.
However, there are so many advantages and disadvantages in city life and village
life, also there is a big differ in the lifestyle with a little similarities. Reality, city life
is more comfortable and civilization. As will as there are a lot of chances to
developing the live.
firstly, in City life there is a good opportunity for a young people make theme start
them life with a high salary because the big companies located in the cities, in
addition, a good education for children because there are better school than in the
village, also, a convenient homes, large shop complexions, banks, offices, hotels,
and hospitals. Furthermore, a lot of things that cannot may in the village. On the
contrary, there are people who prefer to live in the village because they love the
village life with its healthy clean air and fresh products and they cannot live in
cities, but almost they are usually the elderly.
Although living in the city has many advantages there are some disadvantages too,
the cost of the living is very high in the city, the city is always noisy, no fresh air and
pure water. So it is hard to lead a healthy life. On other hand the village the
undeveloped area for example, we cannot easily get many facilities the insufficient
medical and education facilities, few opportunities to make money, little
entertainment, no or little public transportation, also less facilities than a big city
offers.
Over all there are some similarities between both locations with big differences. But
for each lives there is lovers who cannot switches lives to the other city, at the end,
I see that Living in a village near the city is the best way to combine the benefits of
this two lives.

City Life Vs Village Life

who can describe the pleasures and delight, the peace of mind and soft tranquity
One would feel in the balmy air, green hills and rich woods of a village.-these
Lines are rightly said by great English writer-Charles dickens. villages are
generally very beautiful with green hills, clean air and peace. In villages people care
and help each other. Cities are normally very crowded places as compared to
Villages. In the city, one might not have the privacy that one wish for. One would
not be able to go outside without bumping into people. One have 10 people living in
a small one room kitchen and buildings just as far away as 5 feet. This however is a
total different case in the village. One might walk for miles without encountering
anyone and his nearest neighbor would live miles away. The population of the entire
village may not be more than a few hundred

Firstly, The first wealth is health, an elderly person might find life in the city to be
better in the long run as there is better access to health care facilities and quick
availability of round the clock emergency services. However, the kind of health care
available in the city is not accessible to someone living in the village, as the village
might have only a local clinic with a rural nurse available, sometimes even a doctor
might not be available in the clinic. To add on to that the clinics are not equipped
with the supplies necessary for an emergency, sometimes even basic medication
becomes out of stock and unavailable.

Due to high populations and great amount of disposable income, almost everyone in
the city has one vehicle or the other. These vehicles, in addition to other sources of
pollution, add on to the already worsening atmosphere. On the other hand in the
villages due to the absences of a large number of vehicles and other sources of
pollution, one have abundance of fresh air and a very calm, clean and serene
climatic conditions which are good for our health......

Village Life Vs. City Life

It is generally thought that country life is better than city life. It can be true for old
people but city life is a necessity for young people. Also they want to entertain by
doing social activities. So city life is better than country life because of its job and
social opportunities.

People who have just finished their education need to find a good job to live in good
conditions. Big companies are always situated in cities and specifically big cities. A
big company can pay more salary to its employees. So people can have good life
conditions. In a country there arent any big companies. There are only personal
shops. You can just work in a shop with a low salary. Therefore, living in a city would
be better economically for people who are looking for a job.
Everyone wants to do some social activities to make their life more enjoyable. They
may want to go to cinema with their family or they could want to drink something
with their friends in a cafe or a bar. In countries, there are social opportunities but
theyre limited. Citys opportunities are not as limited as countrys opportunities.
There are many options to select. Thus, people choose cities if they want a good
social life.
As a result, city life could have some bad qualities. Despite its problems citys
problems citys opportunities are attractive for who want to live an enjoyable life.

Village Life and Town Life

Some people live in village and some live in towns. Each country in the world has
both village and towns. Most to the countries have more villages than towns. Some
people like to live in the villages and some like to live in towns. Both villages and
towns have both advantages and disadvantages.
Village life has more advantages than disadvantages. Village life is simple.
People are co-operative, generous and kind. They never cheat others as they are
honest. People can eat natural and fresh food. They produce fresh vegetables,
fruits, crops and so on. Most of them are farmers. Some are teachers and other
officials. Everything is cheap in the villages. The environment is always pleasant
and fresh. The problem of pollution is not there. Most of the people are healthy.
Village life has a few disadvantages. Modern facilities are not easily
available in the villages. The facilities of health care, transportation, communication,
education etc. are not adequately available. There are only a few schools. colleges.
health posts and post offices. Villagers cannot get current newspaper and
magazines. They cannot get a lot of opportunities to improve their life standard. The
means of entertainment are not easily available in villages.
Town life has some advantages. People can enjoy different types of
facilities such as transportation, communication, electricity, clean drinking water,
health care and education. There are schools, colleges, hospitals, clinics and so on
in towns. The people who are unemployed can have many opportunities to get good
jobs. Different kinds of means of entertainment are available in towns. People do
not need to travel long distance to buy anything which they need.

Town life has some disadvantages. Towns are over-crowded. People cannot
easily get open space. Nowadays, town are over-crowded. People cannot easily get
open space. Nowadays, town are over-populated and polluted. Life is not safe in
towns. people are unknown to each other. They do not seem to be helpful. The
feeling and practice of fraternity cannot be found in cities. People are always slave
of time in towns. They rarely have leisure time. They cannot get fresh foods,
vegetables and fruits. They are not co-operative. Most of them are selfish.
Unemployment can be a serious problem in the cities. More people wish to get good
jobs but the job opportunities are less than the demand. Town life is really costly.
People need more money to live in a town.
Most of the conscious people say that village life is better
than city life. The real human society is found in villages. Village life is very safe.
Pollution causes many diseases in urban areas but rural areas are safe. Everything
is fresh in villages. It is true that rural life is certainly better than urban life.

Disadvantages
Village life isnt just peace and glory, though; it has its down sides too. One being
the quietness- ironically- which can sometimes become tedious after a while,
especially if youre used to living somewhere bustling. Many foreigners end up
feeling tired of village life simply because it can become too quiet. Another
disadvantage to rural life is its lack of infrastructure and facilities, not in the bigger
more popular villages, but especially in the smaller villages. If youre living far out,
having to travel out via car constantly can become monotonous after a while. And
finally, for those of you looking to work or start a business, bear in mind that work is
limited in villages and unless youre willing to travel at a distance, it will be unlikely
to find a job.

Agricultural Pollution
Developing means of farming and agriculture is the reason humans live in the world
they do today. It is a necessary means of survival, without which there would be
famines all over the world. For thousands of years, agricultural was a natural
process that did not harm the land it was done on. In fact, farmers were able to pass
down their land for many generations and it would still be fertile as ever. However,
modern agricultural practices have started the process of agricultural pollution. This
process causes the degradation of the eco-system, land and environment due to the
modern day by-products of agriculture.

No single cause can be attributed to the widespread agricultural pollution we face

today. Agriculture is a complex activity in which the growth of crops and livestock
have to be balanced perfectly. The process of agricultural pollution stems from the
many stages their growth goes through.
Photos taken on an agricultural tour of Florida. Oct 2010
Causes of Agricultural Pollution
1. Pesticides and Fertilizers: To begin with, the earliest source of the pollution has
been pesticides and fertilizers. Modern day pesticides & fertilizers have to deal with
the local pests that have existed for hundreds of years along with the new invasive
species. And so, they are laden with chemicals that are not found in nature.
Once they has been sprayed, it does not disappear completely. Some of it mixes
with the water and seeps into the ground. The rest of is absorbed by the plant itself.
As a result, the local streams that are supplied water from the ground become
contaminated, as do the animals that eat these crops and plants.
2. Contaminated Water: Contaminated water used for irrigation is one further source
of pollution. Much of the water we use comes from ground water reservoirs, canals
and through the rains. While plenty of it is clean and pure water, other sources are
polluted with organic compounds and heavy metals. This happens due to the
disposal of industrial and agricultural waste in local bodies of water.
As a result, the crops are exposed to water which has small amounts of mercury,
arsenic, lead and cadmium dissolved in it. The process of agricultural pollution
becomes harder to fight when such water poisons the livestock and causes crop
failure.
3. Soil Erosion and Sedimentation: Further problems are caused by soil erosion and
sedimentation. Soil is comprised of many layers and it is only the topmost layer that
can support farming or grazing. Due to inefficient farming practices, this soil is left
open for erosion and leads to declining fertility each year. Whether eroded by water
or wind, all this soil has to be deposited somewhere or the other.

The resulting sedimentation causes soil build up in areas such as rivers, streams,
ditches and surrounding fields. And so, the process of agricultural pollution prevents
the natural movement of water, aquatic animals and nutrients to other fertile areas.
4. Livestock: In the olden days, farmers would keep as much livestock as their land
could support. The cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and other animals were fed natural
diets, which was supplemented by the waste left over from the crops. As a result,
the animals contributed to keeping the farm healthy as well.

As of now, livestock is grown in cramped conditions where it is fed unnatural diets

and sent to slaughterhouses on a regular basis. As a result, they add to the process
of agricultural pollution by way of emissions.
5. Pests and Weeds: Growing exotic crops and reducing the natural species in a
certain area has become the norm for agriculture. However, it is simply adding to
the process of agricultural pollution. With the arrival of new crops, the native
population has to deal with new diseases, pests and weeds that it is not capable of
fighting.
As a result, the invasive species destroy the local vegetation and wildlife, altering
the eco-system permanently. This is especially the case with Genetically Modified
foods, which create plant and animal species that can wipe out the existing species
in a matter of years.
Effects of Agricultural Pollution
1. Health Related Issues: Agricultural pollution is the main source of pollution in
water and lakes. Chemicals from fertilizers and pesticides make their way into the
groundwater that end up in drinking water. Health related problems may occur as it
contribute to blue baby syndrome which causes death in infants. Oil, degreasing
agents, metals and toxins from farm equipment cause health problems when they
get into drinking water.
2. Effect on Aquatic Animals: Fertilizers, manure, waste and ammonia turns into
nitrate that reduces the amount of oxygen present in water which results in the
death of many aquatic animals. Again, bacteria and parasites from animal waste
can get into drinking water which can pose serious health hazards for various
aquatic life and animals.
Keeping agricultural pollution in check is much harder than it seems. For the farms
to become clean once again, levels of water, soil and industrial pollution have to be
kept in check. Over the last decade or so, governments have become stricter about
enforcing regulations. Farmers are also becoming more aware of the damage and
are looking for solutions.
Many farms are moving back to traditional manure, direct irrigation from local water
bodies and organic means of keeping pest populations in check. But for the process
of agricultural pollution to be fully reigned in, there has to be a complete shift in the
way agriculture is practiced.

Agricultural pollution
Agricultural pollution refers to biotic and abiotic byproducts of farming practices
that result in contamination or degradation of the environment and surrounding
ecosystems, and/or cause injury to humans and their economic interests. The

pollution may come from a variety of sources, ranging from point source pollution
(from a single discharge point) to more diffuse, landscape-level causes, also known
as non-point source pollution. Management practices play a crucial role in the
amount and impact of these pollutants. Management techniques range from animal
management and housing to the spread of pesticides and fertilizers in global
agricultural practices.

Water quality
Water quality describes the condition of water and includes its chemical, physical
and biological characteristics. Standards developed for water quality relate to the
suitability of water for a particular purpose, for example, the water quality needed
for healthy ecosystems(lakes, estuaries and rivers), human recreation (such as
swimming) and drinking. Standards are being developed in New Zealand to rate the
quality of water in our waterways.
Water pollution

Concerns have been raised about the effect of intensification of farming on water
quality. Farmers add fertilisers to improve pasture growth to ensure animals have
enough to eat. Fertilisers contain chemical compounds that add to
the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content of the soil. Effluent from farm
animals also addsnutrients to the soil. Excess fertiliser not taken up by plants can
beleached from the soil or carried away in run-off. The nutrients may end up in
waterways and groundwater.

What causes air pollution?

Air pollution can result from both human and natural actions. Natural events that
pollute the air include forest fires, volcanic eruptions, wind erosion, pollen dispersal,
evaporation of organic compounds and natural radioactivity. Pollution from natural
occurrences are not very often.

3. Household and Farming Chemicals

Crop dusting, fumigating homes, household cleaning products or painting supplies,
over the counter insect/pest killers, fertilizer dust emit harmful chemicals into the
air and cause pollution. In many case, when we use these chemicals at home or
offices with no or little ventilation, we may fall ill if we breathe them.
