The rural areas are always thought to have greater opportunities and life motions as compared to villages or simply the rural areas especially if Pakistan is taken in consideration. People and the modern era urges to move towards urbanization for success as its evident from the infrastructure of both the places that the villages lack the basic life facilities including education, health facilities, sanitation etc. as compared to the cities. It is also quit evident that the people and communication style and modes are also very much different in both the places. By the end when it comes to food and the environment then once again a major difference is prominent in between the rural areas of Pakistan and big cities even in Pakistan and all over the globe.

Firstly if we look at the basic life facilities and life style of both the areas we come to a conclusion that both the places are very well inhibited with people and the urge of living goes on in both the places. At both the places people wakeup in morning and start working from dawn to dusk to earn the bread. On the other hand the villages and cities contrast in a way that regardless of the same urge of earning bread or making a difference throughout the day. Being writing this essay sitting in Dubai for the first time on vacations; I have witnessed that the motion of life here in big cities is truly different the life facilities are more advanced as compared to the villages. But the one thing that villages take point is of freedom here in the developed areas the lives of people are very mechanic and fully occupied but this is not the case in the villages especially of our mother land Pakistan.

The Urban Peace!

Furthermore when we observe the people and their communication at both the places, I have once again witnessed that if we look at Dubai the mode of communication here is very much digitilized and modernized which in return has breached our privacy. Our each and every moment of life the communications, the texting, the social plat forms etc. are being monitored and sold to the business organization for marketing. If we look in depth then in today’s dynamic cities we are simply being played as an asset to the business firms. It’s not the criticism that I want to bring in but it’s the true fact which we accept by ourselves because it’s the integral part of the foundation of a dynamic big city because without it won’t be able to survive flourishment. On the other hand the villages are yet small in Pakistan and most of the people come and sit together and talk to each other the sharing of their private life moments and events are not publicized for others to watch. Yet if we look at both of them we come to a point that the basic need of communication is almost the same but the sophistication and wants have evolved making urban cities move a step ahead of villages.

The Rural Air!

By the end if we look upon the third most integral apart for the survival of mankind which includes the food and the environment; we can see and observe the major difference. The cities serve more junk food and processed foods and even if the organic food is available it is very much costly. If we look at the villages the organic and fresh healthy food is available there but unfortunately due to lack of infrastructure the health of people is not up to the mark. If we look at the environment then the big cities they are overcrowded filled with people from all across the world making them more dynamic and culturally diverse. The environment in the cities are very well modernized and very well equipped with basic life facilities and the in fracture cars, pollution etc. on the other hand the villages have more natural environment with animals and silent surroundings with peace.

As a conclusion if we look upon both the big cities and the villages of Pakistan it is evident that both have very much different life styles and facilities. Cities offer more of them as compared to villages. And if communication is observed then the villages are less dynamic and have their secrecy while the modes of communication in urban areas are very much well established. By the end if the food and environment is considered then no matter how much urbanization takes place in the city the environment and food of villages is always more fresh and soothing. By the end it all depends on the person which option he would opt to life in. In today’s growing diversified environment the need of urbanization is must but by the end after earning well a person can come back to the native home lands of villages and can convert them in to a bit modern villages for better living.
