19issue72"One can best understand the most important characteristics of a society by studying its major cities."
Words: 674
The study of social characteristics mainly comes from the exploration of its politic, culture and economy. These factors can reveal its essence and make us an impression of it. Some people argue that major cities maintain all kinds of cultures of this society and it is worthy to research it to get a general view for our common persons. However, I do not agree with this statement and hold my own point that some small cities also play an important role in the culture expression, which can be suggested by reasons, illustrated by examples and enforced by my own experience.

In the first place, major cities act as the centers of politic, culture and economy, so they embody the characteristics of a society. Major cities in a country carry on many functions and act as the model of others. The core government, leading universities, big museums and significant institutions state here. We can also have a glance at the lives of the common people here. It is obvious that these major cities play an important role in exhibiting the overall view of a society. Take Hoisington for example. It is the capital of America, where the federal government state. Important meetings are hold there for its leading political status. At the same time, some libraries and world famous universities serve as the educational facilities for both common people and special students and researchers. The various banks and companies make it possible operation of the whole city. We can make a deep study and get the main characteristics of this society by elit them from all aspects of this city.

Secondly, however, we should not ignore the values of some small cities such as the origination of this society. The small cities may not act as a leader today, but some of them are actually the leading places in the past. First, these cities maintain the culture and costumes of this society. We can never forget the history of ourselves and also the cities which record the important history. We educate the children with this best means; we propagate our cultures and history to the visitors in these fluent cities; we also serve others the significant resource of our own characteristics by introducing these cities. For example, the past capital of China such as Kai Fong and Luo Yang are the main cities in the old past. The palace and buildings there are of great value and attract so many visitors to study their culture each year. It is considered that the pictures and the caves on the wall is worthless and make a great contribution to the world’s art.

Third and more important, a small city or a rural area may be the representative of one separate culture in a whole society. Though the politics, economy and culture are the leading factors in the important characteristics of a society, they are not only embodied in the major cities. Most of the other places besides the leading ones also have these characteristics and develop in other aspects which are not found in the major cities. Another example I would like to state is my hometown, a beautiful place, Yunnan, China. As we known, Chinese characteristics do not embody in its development catching to the developed countries with a great speed, but also in its various cultures which have been generated thousands of years. My hometown is a place where 26 kinds of minorities live and all of them have their own culture. Their languages and costumes vary from populations and each of them has significant value for the researchers.

Above all, the major cities reveal their importance as a core in playing the characteristics of a society. These cities always remain many aspects of culture, even some of them state as a symbol. However, we have to develop our scope to those cities without leading stats and some rural areas. The cultures in these area may not are the mainstream of this world, but they are truly the real reflection of the society being researched.
