Argumentative Essay - Growing a child in a small or big city

Big or Small

            Environment is absolutely one of the most important things in nurturing a child. There is no doubt that selecting a proper place for growing up the children seems to be an important decision for the parents. Every parent wants their children to be successful in their life, and for this, they give their best effort to grow them up. Both countryside and big city are beneficial somehow. Many parents argue that growing children at the country side is more beneficial because cities are polluted which results in bad health of the child. However in my opinion, city would be the best place for the growth of a child. Cities provide better education, better development and better facilities for the growth of a child. 

            First, children in big cities can attend equipped schools which are necessary for their development. In countries like Turkey, there are a lot of place where is isolated and neglected. In these settlements, there may be only one school and teachers of the schools also come from the surrounding villages. Frankly, it does not completely provides a perfect atmosphere to learn much from them and always It can be said that students could learn more by reading the books on their own. However, in a big city, students have a load of opportunities. They can learn music, language, and painting in educational institutions and primary schools, the skills that cannot be learned very well in an average lifestyle. 

            Second, there are a lot of entertainments in big cities that are essential for a child development that cannot be found in an isolated small countryside. The life in small towns can be very boring; however students can use their leisure time in the best possible way in a big city. Students also can go to museums and learn about archeology and history of the country. Also they can spend time in stadiums and parks, the places that they can happy there. 

            There is a belief among some conservative citizens that it is better to grow up children in the countryside. These people usually talk about lots of advantages of living in the countryside for children and disadvantages of living in a big city for them. According to their ideas the tranquility of the countryside can't be surpassed for a child development. They argue that there are lots of institutions in a big city that have bad effects on children. For example they talk about pornography which according to them is a terrible problem associated with big cities. Even so, there are few people how believe that children must live in a countryside because growing a child in a big city has many points in its favor. There are lots of good schools in a big city that essential for children development. Not only schools, but also lots of institutions involved in education in a big city. Also, in a city children can pass their leisure time in valuable ways. For me, there is no doubt that a big city is preferable to the countryside to raise children.

In conclusion, although both the countryside and a big city have some advantages that can benefit a child development, in my view, a city is a much better place to raise a child because there are lots of equipped schools, education centers, and suitable entertainments in a big city. Some religious or conservative people always afraid from big cities and they can't understand the benefits of life in such a good place for a child. On the other side, I believe that people must raise their children in big cities and do not confine them in a boring countryside.
