It seems that increasing citizens faces a stressful and anxiety life in large cities. They work hard and earn lots of money but they do not well-being. Many causes contribute to this phenomenon. One of the reasons is that many people work with tremendous pressure. They face tougher competition and have to work at a fast pace. Because they struggle for promotion and high salary, they work for long hours and lack of daily exercise. It is hard for them to have meals with family and play with their children, which causes work-family unbalanced. Another reason is that people who live in large cities are likely to suffer from environmental problem. For example, the massive use of car contributes to air pollution. Burning fossil fuels aggravates the global warming. Over-exploitation water causes water shortage and water pollution. Compared to people who live in rural area, they are easy to fall into an unhealthy life and get sick. In addition, the increasing crime rates poses threat to citizens. Almost everyone is stolen and cheated in downtown area. People feel unsafe and worried when they go out alone. We should take these problems and causes in an important role and find the solutions. Working people can go to travel with family and escape from routine to experience a different life and relax themselves. Employers should give workers emotional attention and make them feel respected and valued. On the other hand, everyone has duty to protect the environment. For instance, they can choose to reduce car usage, avoid using single-item products and buy eco-friendly products. Furthermore, it is important for government to introduce laws to deter crime and punish the criminals to maintain society stable. With the help of these approaches, citizens may improve the quality life in large cities.
