“City side people or village people”

                                               “City side people versus countryside people”

There are many differences in the nature and characteristics of city side people and countryside people. The city side people have a better way of living than countryside people, and hence, they always influence the countryside. Still there are many values and characteristics in countryside people which should not be lost. What are your views regarding this?

City side and countryside people differ in many ways. The upbringing and values given in city side and countryside are totally different and play a major role in moulding the nature. Let us have an insight into the way of living and values of city people and country people.

There are many qualities in the city people which influence the people living in villages. People in cities are broad-minded and ambitious as they are well-educated. They deal smartly in day to day solutions. They are more aware of the happenings around the world and sound knowledgeable. They are able to do intelligent planning of finances, like investments. Their sense of using technology and fashion also influences the countryside people.

However, despite the low standard of living in countryside, there are many values worth retaining. People living in countryside are simple, generous, friendly and cooperative. They are always ready to help those who are in trouble. They are strongly bonded with their family members and still believe in joint family system. They live a good social life as well. They do not hesitate to do physically strenuous work. They have less needs and are content. They face a lot of hardships and adversities in life. For example, in many villages in Rajasthan, people have to go miles to fetch drinking water. Such hardships make them mentally strong enough to bear the stress and strains of life. The moral values like honesty, loyalty and cooperation are common in countryside than city side.

It is quite obvious that the thinking and outlook of countryside people are changing now. According to me, this is certainly a development, but at the same time, I strongly feel that the countryside people should not lose their originality totally. In fact, they can help the city people revive those human values which they have forgotten in their chase towards materialism.
