Children should grow up in town

Today, many children grow up in different places and in different cultures. We know some advantages and some disadvantages for people who grow up in a city or town, but I prefer to talk about children who are growing up in town. We know how the culture is important for us, because it explains for us and for people who are from different cultures about our traditions and customs. Moreover, we know the environment is the main factor that affects children. So, we should protect our children by living in town for some reasons; the children who grow up in town a have strong relationship with their family or tribe, the children who grow up in town will know very well about their culture, customs, and tradition from their father and grandfather, and the children who grow up in town will have a good and useful relationship with their neighbors and tribes.

First, the children who grow up in town have a strong relationship with their family and community; that mean they will cooperate and help each other. Moreover, they will have responsibility to their community which will help them to take care of the children and families in the community. For example, when they live in town, their children will play with their neighbors’ children, they will grow up together and they will know each other very well. So, that will help them to have a strong relationship with their family and community. Finally, we should have a strong relationship with our children and our community to protect our children from the environment.

Next, the children who grow up in town will know very well about their culture, customs, and tradition from their father and grandfather, because when they live in town they will have strong relationship with their families and they will show the customs from their father and grandfather. So, that will be useful to them in the future. For example, when someone visits me, I will bring him/her water, coffee, tea and food to eat together. As another example, I cannot eat dinner or lunch alone, because I am used to eating with my family together. Finally, when we live in town we will know our customs and traditions very well; also, that will be used to us in the future.

Third, the children who grow up in town will have a good and a useful relationship with their neighbors and tribes, because they have the same customs and traditions. For example, when somebody visits me and I do not have coffee or enough food I can get it from my neighbor because we have a good relationship and we have the same customs. Also, when I am out of my home and my child gets sick, my neighbor will take him/her to hospital. Moreover, a good and useful relationship will help us to face any problem that will face our children from the environment.

Some opponents of raising children in town said, “Children should live in the city because there are many things to do in the city". However, I believe that there is too much to do in the city, and children can get in trouble easily.

In conclusion, as we know, living in a city or town has some good points and bad points. Also, we know how the environment is a big problem that the children face. These people who have children should decide about what kind of culture they want, what kind of place they like, and what kind of neighborhood they think is useful for their children. As we know the big responsibility we have is to protect our children from any problem they will face in the future, such as peer pressure.
