Lifestyle

in the modern world is not the same experience as in the past, because in big cities, they only know several people around their houses. In the past, there were advantages and disadvantages to living in a small village. I believe there were three main benefits.

Firstly

, people knew everything about anyone in their villages.

For example

, where did they come from, how old were they, what's their name...

Secondly

, everyone shared many things to each other,

such

as happiness and sadness, so they did not feel lonely.

Also

, there was always someone to help when one was in trouble.

Finally

, the

neighbors

would take care of the children when their parents were busy or not at home.

Also

, they had many friends to play together. In my view, the biggest disadvantage was the distance from home to public services. In the small villages, the primary and secondary school were often near the

Many museums and historical sites are mainly visited by tourist and not local people. Why is this case? What can be done to attract more local people?
It is not unusual to notice more tourists at museums and heritage sites than local people. This could be due to lack of awareness by locals, especially younger generations, about those sites whereas genuinely interested foreign visitors would do some research and visit those sites in numbers. I believe running advertising campaigns to attract the local community will be a good solution in order to have more local presence in historical sites and museums.

Many prisoners re-offend after they are let out of jail. This essay will discuss that the main causes of committing a crime again are lack of proper rehabilitation facilities in the prison and not being able to find a job after getting released. This essay will also suggest solutions to solve this issue, including community services for these lawbreakers and making them skilful enough to get a job.
