Issue6 "The most effective way to understand contemporary culture is to analyze the trends of its youth."

After careful and objective analysis about the issue that whether it is effective to understand contemporary culture of a nation through analyzing the trends of its youth, I would like to present a position partly contradicting the author's. Indubitably, the culture of the youth makes up a subculture of the temporary culture. However, in my opinion, we cannot ignore another fact that the youth is only a small fraction of the society and fail to represent it.

Firstly, it is a effective way to understand some parts of the contemporary culture through analyzing the trends of its youth, from whom some typical characteristic of the culture will be better conveyed. The youth is the future of a nation and full of passion and vitality. Studying their action will be helpful for us to comprehend some parts of the culture better. For example, China is called the nation of table-tennis for the outstanding performance of its table-tennis plays in all levels of matches and its people's great fervor in playing it. In china, it is common to see people playing table-tennis, however most of them are young people who are always active and energetic. So to say, It is mainly through the youth can we form the idea that table-tennis is popular in china, and china is worthy of the name of nation of table-tennis. Therefore, it is efficient to comprehend certain aspects of a culture by researching the action of its youth.      

Secondly, the youth are always ready to accept new things and therefore apt to be influenced by foreign culture, it is sensible for us to observe the youth to know the new traits of a culture. With the multinational cooperation and intercommunication in many fields goes forwards, the culture of different nations are interacting increasingly, which give birth to the so-called multicuture and infuse new content to a nation's indigenous culture. In this situation, the youth have more access to foreign cultures than ever before and are more easily affected by it than people of other age group and then bear the characteristic of both the indigenous an foreign culture. Nowadays, in China, it is ordinary to see the youth coloring his hair or wearing strange clothes, both of which are not acceptable in the past but now are representative of the current vogue caused by the effect of foreign culture. The youth is so adventurous and unconventional a group that they always represent the crest of temporary culture. Consequently, we can get the new traits of a culture through the observation of the youth.

Finally, however, we must make it clear that only study the trends of its youth is far from enough to have a full knowledge of the contemporary culture of a nation, which needs an overall analysis in the traits of people of different age. It is obvious that the habits, hobbies and the like of the youth differs so greatly from that of the old that the action of people of different age group can reveal different aspects of a culture. We can see the truth of my view from our daily experience. The old tend to lead a regular life, and like to participate some moderate games; however, the youth always enjoy a life somewhat irregular, without a constant time to sleep or get up, and prefer to do something new and exciting. Therefore, we have to make a comprehensive observation to both the old and the youth to acquire a general idea of a culture, due to their different life styles.

To sum up, I partly consent to the author's statement with some reservation, through the discussion mentioned above, we can easily reach the conclusion that studying the trends of the youth can help us to comprehend some parts of a culture better, and to understand some parts of a culture featuring the youth, however, only through a comprehensive study covering people of all age can we really know the temporary culture of a nation.

写得还不错呢！

However, in my opinion, we cannot ignore another fact that the youth is only a small fraction of the society and fail to represent it. 按理说这里是点明你的position的关键，可是这个表达似乎有点问题哦？不平行还是不搭配？

第一段里面In china, it is common to see people playing table-tennis, however most of them are young people who are always active and energetic.这个however有点诡异，后面的话It is mainly through the youth can we form the idea that table-tennis is popular in china,这里我觉得例证的backup需要加强。感觉不是很舒服。

第二个body我觉得more easily influenced可能稍微再交待一点儿会更舒服一些，而你的ts在于从youth得到关于潮流的信息，看看整个段落能不能更加集中一些。

其实关于comprehensive和effective不知道是不是稍微再交待一下好一些，不过我觉得目前这样也还可以。

评个精吧，大家来讨论讨论这道题？
