Answer: In the world, there are many cities in many countries having a great diversity of characteristics among the societies. One city having a society is seen to be different from the another one in many aspects. In response, the prompt says, people should study major cities to understand the characteristics of different societies. I mostly agree with this for two reasons although I do concede that one can realize the diversity or change in the societies by staying some days and also by natural instinct.
Firstly, study about major cities improve one's understanding and knowledge about the diversity of people around the world and increase his or her knowledge in a great amount. For instance, by studying about major cities, one can easily know different city people's characteristics and compare them with his ore her city people's characteristics. This study and comparison develop his or her understanding and realizing capability a lot.
Secondly, to travel in other cities for different reasons including business purpose or study purpose in future, one must need some basic ideas about other countries' or other cities' societies for staying there. For instance, if a person knows the accepted norms of the city he is travelling, he will definitely be helpful while travelling or staying in that city. This knowledge about the characteristics of people or accepted norms will keep him at front and he will enjoy to live there. This is how, knowledge about characteristics of other society may help one into a great deal.
However, a person can easily realize generally about the possible differences among his society and others to some extent by natural instinct. And also, he or she can easily learn about the society by staying there a very short time.
To conclude, it is certain that studying about major cities will develop one's knowledge as well as realization power and also, increase the adjusting of his or her to other societies although for some people, they can fulfill this requirement by staying there a short time or by natural instinct.
