“It is better for children to grow up in the countryside than in the big city.” Do you agree or disagree?

In my opinion, I disagree with the statement that it is better for children to grow up in the countryside than in a big city. There are many merits if children grow up in the big city. And now, I will give some reasons and examples to support my opinion.
First of all, children who live in the big city will be more competitive than the children who live in the countryside. People who live in the city are usually busy, and they have to face the realities all the time. Thus, they will be afraid that their children will be less competitive than others. Parents will give the best environments to their children. When children are young, they are forced to learn a lot of things, for instance, piano, English, painting, and so on. Also, children live in the competitive city, they will be competitive too, for the environment can arouse children’s potential. As for the children who live in the countryside, they grow up in the happy environment, and they even do not know how competitive the society is. Thus, I think the children who live in the city will be more competitive than the children who live in the countryside.
Another reason is that it is easier to find a good job in the big city than in the countryside. With respect to the living, people live in the city can find a job easily than in the countryside. City stands for prosperous, so there will be lots of work opportunities. Also, we can find out that most of high- tech companies are usually located in the city. That means we can get the job with high salary in the city than in the countryside. With the higher salary, parents can give their children better learning environment, then children can be more competitive. As children are more competitive, they can find a good job easily in the future. The two things are linked to each other. For this, I think it is better for children to live in the city than in the countryside.
The last but not the least reason is that we can get the information easily in the big city than in the countryside. It is no doubt that we can get information easily if we live in the city than live in the countryside. It is possible that if we get new information in the city, then the information will be carried to the countryside after six months. Also, it is true that because of the high speed of information, people who live in the city can have better medical resources than in the countryside. And medical resource is more important than any other things, because it is related to life! For the information getting problems, I think it is better for children to live in the city than in the countryside.
To sum up, I disagree with the statement that it is better for children to live in the countryside than in the city. Children who live in the city will be more competitive and they can find a job with higher salary and also they can get new information easily. As mentioned above, it is true that there are so many advantages for children to live in the city. And they are all my reasons for supporting my statement.
