Our country was built on small towns that eventually turned into a big city. America started as 13 colonies and now the United States has 50 states. Some people prefer to live in a small town while others prefer to live in a big city. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Many may argue that a small town provides peace and tranquility for everyone that depends on your own personal opinion. However; living in a big city has more benefits and more opportunities than living in a small town. The first reason is that living in a big city can provide us with a modern and adequate academic environment. As we know, education is, and has been the key for success in any future career. In a big city they have many quality schools, so students can get several benefits from modern education such as; multi-media teaching, internet, and electronic library with various books and documents. An example of one technology is the talking computer for the blind or the program that changes words for the deaf to understand. In contrast, living in a small town they cannot afford to take the opportunity as much as big city because a small city does not have enough modern facility to provide these modern technologies for their students. The second reason for living in a big city would be there are more career chances. In a big city the salaries and the living conditions appear better than those in a small town. Many cities have many big companies and international companies for job opportunities. The majority of people who live in a small town do not have well-paid occupations, because of the area and population. One city in Pennsylvania has a poverty level of below $11,000 dollars a year for an average family. In the city you have lawyers, bankers, school teachers, and many other occupations that make double the income that a person of the same occupation has who live in a small town.
