Some people prefer to live in the quiet of the country; others prefer the hustle and bustle of the city. Which do you think is the better choice?

I prefer the city because I am used to it. I like that all the stores, malls, libraries etc.. that I need are close to my home. For example, I like that I can choose between 3 libraries that are within walking distance. Same thing with the 3 franchise pizza restaurants and 4 malls. In rural areas, this would not be the case, more like one or maybe two choices.

*Walking distance is 40 minutes or less

Explanation:

Here are a few pros and cons for each:

Country - pros:

*Closer to national heritage (because the area is less assimilated by multinational corporations and immigrants) and greater sense of community (because there is a lower population, you could know everyone in the area)

*Lower population density, often less of a tourist destination (thus widespread viruses are less likely to reach the area, if no one brings the illness there)

*Lower housing prices (lower demand of housing due to decreasing population)

Country - cons:

*May lack or lag in essential services (water sources and pipes may be older)

*Fewer options for services (there may only be one local school, one local library etc...)

*Distance from services (for very specific healthcare treatments, you may have to go into the city for it to be available)

City - pros:

*Convenience in daily life (mostly everything you need is closeby)

*More variety and opportunity (there are more businesses in the city, so more places to get a job or buy from)

City - cons:

*Higher cost of living (and housing prices, because more people move to the city, thus increasing the demand)

*Noise pollution (could be 24/7 where there are sounds of traffic outside your home)

the best description of postwar writers might be progressive.

following the war, writers showed a tendency to work on artistic or social matters rather than political themes. while postwar literature may not have been the greatest period of english literature, the themes provided excellent critics a high number of novels. such examples include anthony burgess, anthony powell and frank kermode, all of which can be placed under the progressive view.
