5) Claim: Governments must ensure that their major cities receive the financial support they need in order to thrive.
Reason: It is primarily in cities that a nation's cultural traditions are preserved and generated.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based.
1 Due to the development of modern technology, many people are concerned about how to preserve their nations’ cultural traditions and promote their national identities for the new generations who have been exposed to globalised culture with little local flavour. 2 Since government resources are limited, it is argued that major cities should be the top priority for financial support because the cultural traditions are generated and preserved here. 3 While I agree that major cities are important for preserving and generating cultural tradition, other areas are equally important in many countries. 4 Since cultural programs in major cities can receive support from different financial sources such as advertising, donation of city residents and big corporations, government money should be invested to programs in small towns and rural regions where resources from private sectors are not available.
句式:
Due to... people are concerned about/with.
Since..., it is argued that...

There is no doubt that major cities are important sites for celebrating cultural traditions.
Despite the importance of major cities for cultural traditions, government funding should not be heavily invested here because there are other funding sources available.
On the other hand, other preservation programs for cultural traditions in small towns or rural areas should be supported by taxpayers’ money.

The rule of law is an important principle that enables members of the modern society to solve a wide range of problems without degenerating into a violent state. While it is obvious that all individuals should obey laws that are not controversial in terms of its justice, in order to abolish unjust laws that are incompatible with the development of modern society, individuals should challenge such laws through legal means and civil disobedience. The laws related to creative culture and copyrights can aptly illustrate my thesis.

Do advances in scientific researches help us better understand the world we live in? Or are we increasingly perplexed by the new scientific knowledge constructed by the research community? The answers to these questions would depend on which groups of people we are talking about here. For the general public, science has provided solutions and resolved puzzles about the world we live in and enabled us to understand events in the world with confidence.
