A. Brief description:
the city is a large and permanent human settlement. Although there is no agreement on how a city is distinguished from a town, in general, english language meanings. In other words, the city can be described as an area that is bigger than the town. In a city, the facilities are more advanced than a town because in a city the technology can support human life than the town. Generally, a city has complex systems for housing, sanitation, utilities, land usage, and transportation. The city has more population than the town. The minimal population of a city is 2,500 or more. If the population doesn’t reach the requirement, so we will call it as the town. The city always crowded by many people that works every day.
B. Characteristic
One of The characteristics of the city is the traffic jam. Traffic jam almost happens every day in the big city especially. But usually people go up early to avoid the traffic jam. Generally 7 a.m. the traffic jam will happen. So usually people will wake up early at 5 or 6 o’clock. The another characteristic is night life in the city. At night in the city, generally they will go to the night club for some of them who doesn’t have much job or homework like business man or manager in a company. They will go to the night club to have fun and enjoy life. So in at night there is still activity in the city, but different from the town that has less activity at night, because people who lives in town generally don’t have any night club. Advanced technology also one of the characteristics in the city. Now the city is very modern. Modern city and technology developed in 4000 BCE. But now the technology is more advanced. one of the most important technology is computer and laptop because people in the city use computer and laptop every day. they use laptop and computer to work and play.
C. Plus
The positive effect of the city is the technology and facilities. The technology is more advanced than in the town or village. In the city, there are many hospitals, school, mall, restaurant, etc. The hospital has many facilities for their customer. One of the facilities is the modern computer to detect the disease and also the lift. The lift is used to bring people who get the disease to the upstairs rather than stairs. The school also one of the positive effect of the city. In the city, the knowledge is more advanced because they use technology to research and to get knowledge from the internet. The school also provide the field to play the sport. Nowadays, school use technology to learn rarther than a book to learn at school and at home to do their homework. Mall also one of the positive effect of the city. Mall provides all things that we need every day, such as food, drink, material for cooking, toiletries, cloth, shoes, etc. People in always going to the mall to fulfill their needs every day. People usually go to the restaurant to buy a food for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner. In the city, there are many fastfood restaurant and restaurant that serve cuisine from the country. But people that is very busy, in generally they will go to the restaurant every day. People who have less job usually will cook at home and eat at home than at the fastfood restaurant.
D. Minus
The negative effect of city life is unhealthy life because in the city they don’t have time to do exercise or to do sports activity because they will go to work almost every day and arrive at home at around 4 p.m. so they don’t have time to do exercise. The another negative effect is the pollution in the city is very high because people in the city use the car to go toschool or to go towork every day so they will cause the pollution occurs every where. The pollution makes them get so many disease, such as lung cancer, free radicals and out of breath because of the pollution the produce everyday form their car. Another negative effect is an unhealthy life style. People in the city will prefer to choose fast food than healthy food because they don’t have time to cook by themselves. They will go to the restaurant and buy the fast food in their daily life, so they will get any nutrient from the fast food, but for the people who can cook at home it is much better than go to the restaurant to buy unhealthy food. Expensive price also one of the negative effect in the city. The price in the city usually very expensive rather than in the village or in the town. For the example, land, in the city the space to make the house or to build a shop is very expensive because the land is limited in the city, so the price will be highly expensive for the land.
E. Capability
Globalization and urbanization continue to fundamentally alter the way cities work. Growth means bigger and more complex challenges to meet the needs of residents and businesses. The city will attract people from rural areas to the city because live in the city much better than live in the rural area. A city must be attractive to keep it’s people. It must have resources, human and cultural to sustain growth, vibrancy, and succes. The city has to have more land to build a building for the next generation or for the migrant who wants to stay in the city. The city also has to provide the facilities which support the civilian, such as the modern hospital, school, mall, etc. Because the people in the city will increase every year. Resedents, commuters, workers, tourist have a variety of expectation from the basic requirement of housing and security to the most intellectual desires of arts, theater, and science.
F. Environmental condition
Generally the environmental condition in the city is very crowded but organized. Every day the people in the city never stop working. The road will be filled by many cars and the people will walk in the road side. They will always working, even in holiday. But they will take a rest at night, so worker usually will sleep at night and not going anywhere. Crime usually happens in the big city like New York, Nevada, Las Vegas, Rio de Janeiro, etc. Crime happens because of the security and the police have difficulties to control the city because a city is very big and the personel of the police is not enough to control city that has a big area. But they use CCTV to see what happens in the city, start from street, mall, apartement, public palace, garden, etc. But in the city that has high-security level crime usually rarely happens. If a crime happens generally people will not help the victim because they are afraid, but they will call police or security guard. In the city, there are many pollutions, because of the civilian always use the car and in the city there are many factories that can make pollution twice as the car. In the city, the government starts to plan a tree in every road side to make the environmental clean and to reduces the pollution. Not just trees, the government also build the garden to make the city looks interesting and the garden can be the jogging track for the civilian, so it’s like the facilities that government have to build.
G. Social condition
In the city, the social condition is very different with town or village because city’s civilian has less talking and more working in their daily life, except children from school. The student in the school will have more conversation than the worker in the office because they are busy with their job. If the parent of the children is very busy the children will not have a good relationship to their parent. Parents have to start the conversation, such as “How was your day?” and “Can I help you with your homework?” so the children will answer the question and keep asking the question to make them tell their day at school, so the family will have a very good relationship. Every day in the city the road side and the garden always crowded by people, But they usually don’t interact to each other.
