In some big cities, people tend to get less healthy than who live in the countryside, raising concerns about its effects to city dwellers. Although cities offer numerous modern amenities, facilities with high – tech applications, I strongly believe that the life there is bad for people’s health.
To begin with, it is not too difficult to catch sight of a city full of transport, buildings and factories. Carbon emissions and exhaust fumes emitted from cars, buses or factory chimneys are considerable, contributing to air pollution and partly resulting in global warming. In addition, too much light and noise can cause light and noise pollution to arise, which may bring on many illnesses for residents. According to several surveys, the rates of people catching eye pain and headache increase annually, impacting negatively to society.
Furthermore, huge workloads and the invasion of technology renders life extremely competitive. A notable example is that lots of people are under enormous pressure and overwhelmed due to mountains of work, or the number of digital addicts goes up every year. This pressure not only affects physical health but also leads to burnout and depression. Some individuals living in urban areas even claim that they would rather live a poor but peaceful life in the country than live a convenient but tiring life here.
In conclusion, although big cities make our life more convenient and modern, their negative effects to our health should not be ignored. Without proper planning, this trend could gradually have a negative impact on social stability.
