Thanks in advance for reviewing the essay, please an example or suggestions on other ways it could be tackled will be fine!
To understand the most important characteristics of a society, one must study its major cities.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
The most characteristics of a society can be shown through not only its culture but also its cultural evolution. Within a society, there are distinct properties seen in their way of living, food and economy. Most people believe that abating the touristy part of town would offer one an undiluted perception into the place that they choose to explore. However, I stand to defer on this contention as I believe the major cities of a society is the beating heart or essence of that society. I am persuaded by this reasoning because I believe that cities are the melting point of culture that accumulate into the distinct and defining nature of a society.
As a result of being born a Nigerian, where the diversity of ethnic groups ranging from the Northern Fulani to the Southern Igbos, I have come to realize that one can only fully experience what it is to be ‘Nigerian’ when they visit the city centers. This is because these cities draw on 260 different tribes due to their economic allure and create a melting point of different tribal lifestyles that agglomerate into the Nigeria way of living. The village life in contrast is stolid to the mannerisms, food, economy and basically lifestyle of the indigenes of the land. In the
Consequently, this leads to an optimal expression of the best of what the society has to offer. Due to the intrinsic diversity in cities compared to rural areas, there would be pockets of contributions from other constituencies that would be incorporated into the cities. Basically, you get the best of all worlds as far as you are humble enough to ask the opinions of an indigene who is aware of his society. For instance, when I visited the shores of Cozumel, Mexico which is considered highly touristy, I was able to get a sense of what Mexicans considered part of their culture because I went with a friend and spoke the Spanish language. After visiting stores, studying the architecture and experiencing the night life among other activities, I was able to see a diverse mix of the Mexican characteristic as opposed to when a visited the small village of Malaga.
In contrast, there may be an argument that cities are diluted in that they are usually westernized as a circumstance of colonial and neocolonial forces. The truth is that unless a society is truly isolated through intentional means, there would always be seeping of external forces that modify their lifestyle. However, the city reveals the level of adaptability or stolidity that a society can take. It shows how a society can keep true to its ways without selling out. If families are still living communally in the city, then it probably means that they were not so influenced by the individualistic lifestyle of the West.
I maintain that studying the city to understand the most important characteristics of a society is a wise strategy because it offers you a holistic view of what consists a society. This is because one observes the full spectrum of the living of the society in general as opposed to just a distinct segment. Also, the best is offered as there is usually fuller economic resources for an optimal expression of what is desired. More importantly, there is measurable parameters of a society’s willingness to be influenced. All of which are really important indicators of its characteristics.

Hi cnwana! I have just finish the same issue task!
The most characteristics of a society can be shown through not only its culture but also its cultural evolution. Within a society, there are distinct properties seen in their way of living, food and economy. Most people believe that abating the touristy part of town would offer one an undiluted perception into the place that they choose to explore. However, I stand to defer on this contention as this phrase is redundant I believe the major cities of a society is the beating heart or essence of that society. I am persuaded by this reasoning because I believe that cities are the melting point of culture that accumulate into the distinct and defining nature of a society.
Keep things simple:I also think that sities are the melting point of culture that accumulate into the distinct and defining nature of a society.

I have started analytical writing few days ago, but I think it is a strong essay, with examples and strongly supports opinion on the issue. Some ideas from introduction and conclusion can be communicated more clearly, but it is well organized.
Do you mind to read my issue about the same topic? It is way more basic compare to your essay.
While each side has its strengths and weakness, I believe that major and minor cities help to understand the most important characteristics of a society. A serious research must cover as much features as possible in order to have novel insight about a society.
First and foremost, within a society there are a range variety of habit, costumes, ethic values, idioms and food in a whole country. For example, in Argentina one characteristic food, such as “empanadas”, it is prepare in many different ways by state.
Some may argue that major part of population living in big sities is a representative sample from the society. In spite of cosmopolitan cities, it is a common falacy to believe that the truth about a group applied to each member. Following Argentina example, people who live in Buenos Aires City is not used to take a nap after lunch, while people who live in the rest of the country are used to have this break day. So, different schedules of work time are valid in Argentina society.
In conclusion, it may be attractive to analyze one major city to learn the most important characteristics of a society, but considering other minor cities can have you the big picture of a society.
