It’s better for children to grow up in countryside than in a big city

Bringing up a child is not something which can be done easily. For parents, children need to learn so many things including technology, nature, sport and the like.
Considering all the necessities in raising a child it is not easy to answer the question of whether to bring up a child in a city or in a village. The two alternatives have their own advantages and disadvantages however, in my opinion; to grow up in a city would be the right choice for a child.

I believe this as we live in such an electronic and communication oriented age that requires so many skills to use in a daily life if someone chooses to compete with their rivals. One can claim that children can gain this necessary education in the country-side as well, but considering that these kinds of technologies require more infrastructure investments and cities get more compared to villages, we could easily draw a conclusion that cities can offer more opportunities than villages in terms of education, sports facilities and to learn, for example, modern utilities such as exhibition centers and conference halls. However children who have grown up in cities have some advantages over those who are born in villages. Village children have far better chances to learn about nature more than city children. Besides this basic instruction, village children are always close to the soil and know well how to cultivate a field, plant the seed. These are not things to be ignored, but considering that we are currently living in such an age that requires more abilities of being familiar technology and city concepts than it was before, raising a child in a city would be beneficial for both parents and children. I believe that for many reasons. Delineating why I believe this, giving two specific examples could be a factor to shore up my idea. First, city dwellers have more income and this endangers more opportunity to have some electronic devices as well as communication gadgets with advanced technology. Having been raised in such a well equipped and prosperous family, a child is familiar with how to behave and act with such devices, including learning their proper usages. Contrary to this, a village child can only have the chance to get to know them in his/her older age and this can cause a gap between a city youngster and a villager. The second is much more than a necessity, taking into account living in a city requires some social habits and communication skills in a kind manner. Of course these can be obtained in later ages for someone but, the question will (always be; are these two different cases equal or not? In other words, can the latter be substituted for the first?

To epitomize, growing up in city would be more beneficial for parents and children than raising a child in a village or a place located in the country-side.

GRANNY DAN

“A woman gets a box from her grandmother's nursing home after she dies, and she learns about her grandmother's past that she's always wondered about, but never asked. The box is filled with memorabilia.
Danina, (Granny Dan), grew up in Russia in a ballet school and eventually became a performer. She got influenza and she and her doctor fell in love. "Granny Dan" tells Danina's journey in life before her grandchildren got to know her as Granny Dan. "

For more than a decade, young Danina Petroskova has known no life but that of the ballet and her mentor Madame Markova. When a deathly illness steals her from the stage, the young dancer is inconsolable, and, desperate to speed her recovery, Madame Markova agrees to hand Danina over to the talented Dr. Nikolai Obrajensky for treatment. Convalescing with the Romanovs at the Tsarskoe Selo palace, Danina learns to live in and love the world beyond the ballet. And while grateful for Nikolai's companionship, she is startled by the intense emotions growing inside her for the married doctor. Drawn to Danina, Nikolai cannot ignore the passion between them either, and the strength of their love quickly overpowers their resistance. Soon Madame Markova and Nikolai's wife remind them of their previous obligations, and as the Revolution hovers on the horizon, the two must make a decision that will change their lives forever.

As if a romance set in the twilight years of Czarist Russia doesn't have enough intrinsic pathos, Danielle Steel takes great care to give her hero and heroine the bittersweet combination of incomparable virtue and external duties. When the young prima ballerina and the married doctor meet, they are drawn to the corresponding sense of integrity and duty in each other. However, when love and duty conflict, the struggle is never easy.

Maestro Steel knows where the heartstrings are, and she plays them with her reliable talents. While students of history may cringe at the simplified approach to the historical period, readers just looking for a good time have found it. With the tough-but-loving mother figure, the ill-but- lovable Prince Alexander, the borrowed ball gowns and the emotional grand jeté, this book has everything a TV movie needs except a small, cuddly pet. Put your feet up, set aside your spoilsport logic and enjoy this novel for what it is: a classic romance

Television has destroyed communications among friends and family

Nowadays, it is the fact that television is of the main part in our life. Whatever information, which is in sport news, economic news, etc, is commonly narrated everyday. Thus, TV overwhelmingly helps us to understand broadly the world so that every one seems to be accustomed to wait for the official news every night regularly. However, I extremely disagree with what the statement claimed that television has destroyed communication among friends and family for some reasons as following.
At a first glance, I would say that even though daily news supply us abundant of special events happened all over the world, can television hardly contains every things, which are very casual things occurring specially in our neighborhood. For instance, tourist’s special locations are showed on TV vividly and imaginarily such as famous resorts, luxury restaurants and hotels. However, our friends can guide us to many particular recreational areas, which had not been mentioned by television before. Hence, friends sometime provide us much useful information about our located area or daily events which thanks to their own experience. Secondly, whenever watching television, we are tending to just sit down and view it perseveringly that will badly affect our health step by step. While talking with friends and family, we use both languages and specific gestures to convey the information that results in a more vivid and colorful conversation. Besides, communication by talking helps us not only to release our stressful things but also to be healthier through smiling from a funny events or unusual things appearing recently.
As far as concerned, I convincingly prove that television has just promoted our life as fast and particular way to get information. Friends and family can’t be replaced by whatever so it is more valuable for us to combine both and makes it balances.

A : The reason of this is because the lack of leadership among Muslims but when we view this issue in the light of the facts, we come to realize that this is a totally baseless supposition.
