Is Rural life is Inferior to Urban?

The rapid process of urbanization draw more people migrate from rural to urban. It creates the insight as the rural life has lot of negative implications and is often described as inferior to the urban. The rural life which is the one should preserve and protect to lead a human life with peaceful and natural way. Then what makes them to think urban life is superior. Is it because of urbanization evolved by cultural adjustment to economic and social changes? Or is the cultural adjustment at rural not adopting as quick as urban? Further we can explore based on civilized, uncivilized and educated, uneducated. But we cannot say that only uncivilized and uneducated are living in rural. The civilized and educated lives at rural still feel inferior as compared to urban people. I can say this is purely illusion and perception and this lead to the rural people in wrong direction. I think we need to create awareness to the rural people that they are no way inferior to urban people. After all we are all human being. We have an end. This life is between the birth and death. This is applicable to either we live at urban or rural. Irrespective of where we are living. We need a food, shelter and clothing. As long as anyone gets these basic needs, no need to feel anything about superior or inferior.
At present world, the people don't get these basic need is more at Rural as compared to the urban. This may be one of the reason why the people at rural are feeling inferior. How do we address this problem? We need to make sure everyone should get these basic needs.
We know most of the rural people are depends on agriculture employment which is the one still keeping the human being existence. We all have forgotten to recognize their work. We have created the reward and recognition for all the discoveries which are entertaining us. But we have forgotten to realize the worth of the agricultural employment which gives us food for ever. Currently we are consciously discriminating the rural employment from the urban employment. The answer for the heading question will become “NO” when agricultural employment gets recognized.
