1. A rise in the standard of living in a country often only seems to benefit cities rather than rural areas. What problems can this cause? How might these problems be reduced?

Due to the advent of newer policies and globalization, there has been a significant change in the standard of living for people. It is majorly the city-bred individuals that have gained more from this than their rural counterparts. This essay will discuss the problems associated with such a vast difference biased towards people from the city like inequality in education and lack of equitable access to resources. This essay shall also discuss the potential solutions of the intervention of the government and policies to ensure similar developments in the villages.

To begin with, due to a greater access to other countries through improved collaborations and technological exchange, opportunities for jobs and education has been on the higher end. Despite this, villagers are not being granted the same resources that has led to dissimilar educational outcomes, with lack of proper syllabus and structure. For instance, in the survey conducted last week, most rural government schools have felt that the traditional methods of teaching has resulted in unsatisfied performance with respect to english-medium students. Along with this, professionally, there has been no form of development for workers, majorly due to lack of opportunities in the small towns. This hampers their ability to lead a satisfied life with better access to resources. Hence, due to the lack of myriad of options to live a better life and poor educational pattern, it is the cities that have more advantages than the smaller towns.

On the other hand, though these pose as issues that restricts the growth of the rural areas, there are potential solutions to mitigate the problems. Firstly, there needs to be a government intervention to essentially reassess the current educational scenario in smaller towns, making sure that more of inter-disciplinary programs are introduced for an overall education betterment. Secondly, there needs to be an introduction to policies with regard to more employment opportunities and preferred to the native workers than outsourced ones. Consequently, this can ensure the works a greater access to items that can increase their standard of living. Therefore, the solutions with the participation of the government through policies and development can equate the benefits for both rural and urban localities.

In conclusion, there is a stark difference in lives of people residing the cities mainly due to more access to items and luxuries that most rural communities do not have an access to. In association to this, introducing a holistic educational plan and employment plan that would inturn attract bigger companies to their areas would be a great solution to close the gap.
