Life can be very different depending on where you live. From your home, to the clothes you wear, to the way you talk, even to the food you eat is determined by the area that you are living in. There are many options as to where you can be living. Two choices include the city and the farm. Living on a farm and living in the city, though similar, have many aspects that differentiate them from each other.
Living on a farm is a way of life that many people all over the world choose. Life on a farm is usually very simple and slow-paced. When you live on a farm, your day typically starts very early in the morning and you go to sleep early at night. Another aspect of living on a farm is that many of the things that you eat are home grown or come from the animals that you are raising. Farmers tend to grow all of their own crops, including corn, wheat, and other fruits and vegetables. They obtain a large portion of their meat from the animals that are raised on the farm, including cows, chickens, and pigs. Not only do they eat what they produce on the farm, many times this also serves as their source of income. Most times, the entire family works on the farm. Each member of the family usually has their own set of jobs to do on the farm. Living on a farm is also a basic type of life style without many high priced amenities. Even though most farms are very large in size, farmers tend to live in close-knit communities where everybody knows one another. The environment has a great aspect on farming. A year with a heavy drought or an excess of rain can ruin a farmer’s season causing them to lose their income.
Living in the city is another way of life that you can choose. Life in the city is usually very complicated and fast-paced. Living in the city can also be quite expensive, even if you cook your own food at home you still have to purchase it from different stores. Housing is also usually very expensive and a typical family with few children would pay very high rent due to the fact that they need several rooms in their apartment. There is more of a nightlife when living in the city, and people tend to go to sleep later even if they have to wake up early for work. The source of income for people who live in the city depends on the type of job that you have, out of the many possibilities. Traveling in the city is usually very easy, with public transportation such as buses, trains, and taxis.
Living on a farm tends to be very different from living in a city. To start off, farm life is more slow-paced, while city life is more fast-paced. On a farm, people depend on owning their own vehicle for travel due to the fact that everything is spread out, including schools and stores. In the city, many people don’t even own a car. Public transportation is easily accessible to take you places and most stores and schools can be within walking distance of where you reside. Another difference between the two ways of life is that the farmer lives in a close-knit community where he knows all of his neighbors. In the city, you can live in the same apartment building as someone your entire life and not even know who he or she is. People on farms depend on what they grow as their source of food, whereas people in the city buy their source of food from the stores. The weather has a great impact on a farmer’s life and normally does not affect the life of someone in the city. The standard of living also tends to be different between the two. Things are more expensive in the city and people tend to send money on more extravagant things like designer brands. Living on a farm, they tend not to care as much about these high priced amenities.
Though these two styles of living are very different, they are also very similar. No matter where you live, members of the family must have some type of job as a source of income. Children, no matter where they live, are required to attend school. Also, in both places people are able to interact with other individuals in a social setting.
Though there are many differences between the two areas, life goes on no matter where you live. People must still work, eat, and interact with others. There is definitely a difference in the way they live, work, and travel, yet there are many aspects that connect them to each other.
