Introduction
A medley of pastoral areas, small towns and cosmopolitan cities forms a society. On that account, understanding a society is knowing about all the components of the amalgam. However, the title qualifies the understanding of a society by asserting that, to understand the eminent characteristics of a society, one must scrutinize about its most prominent cities. In my opinion, I strongly agree with the suggestion and proclaim that the major essence of the society is subsumed in the major cities for a couple of reasons.

Body
To begin, there is a predominance in the number of schools and universities in the cities. Education being the most secure and progressive investment provides a picture about the intellectual aspect of a country which undoubtedly is one among the most crucial factors to illustrate the progressiveness of a society. The major cities have the most renowned learning institutes with top-notch facilities(the best of scholars and researchers from all across the country as well as outside the territory),tech-savvy laboratories, tie-ups with the best universities and ventures globally in order to provide the students an exposure and an excellent opportunity to avail internships, trainings as well as be a part of the student exchange program. This helps strengthening the profiles of students, enables them to stay updated with the nascent technologies and primordial requisites of the enterprises which ultimately helps them in understanding their caliber in their respective domains of interest to the fullest. Consequently, this leads to the prospering of the student and the society at an individual and community level respectively. In the second place a large shift in the mass from the mainstream cities, towns and the suburbs to the top-tier cities after the advent of industrialized society (also known as post-agrarian society) is the biggest indicator to suggest that the most pre-eminent cities (the industrialized society is majorly encompassed within the major cities) has the most advanced technology driven manufacturing and production hubs, which allows the cities to be identified as the central hub for commerce and trade of the country. Besides this the industrialized society encompassed within the eminent cities contains the most lucrative job opportunities for the crowd, further enabling us to explore the tastes and preferences of the people. Thirdly, the major cities possess the best possible transportation infrastructure (public transport) comprising of public buses, metros, and auto-rickshaws enabling affordable and hassle free movement to everyone. Last but not the least, one of the most crucial aspect for knowing a society is the healthcare system possessed by the civilization. Veritably, it can be said that the best healthcare facilities comprising of the best doctors and other staffs, most advanced and methodological round-the-clock services is primarily found in the distinguished cities. These services include 24x7 ambulance service, availability of best of doctors in the ICU (Intensive Care Patient) and OPD (Out- Patient Department),besides having the most advanced medication and technologies for conducting X-Rays, Ultrasounds, angiography etc. Also, these hospitals comprise of the most advanced research teams of medical professionals investigating about the vestigial diseases caused by the viruses, bacteria and other micro-organisms and also research about the remedies (what we call the medicines) for curing those who become susceptible to any of these diseases.

Conclusion
Of course, some assert that the cultural heritage of a nation dwells in the small towns and the suburbs, in spite of that the praising crowd resides on the streets of cities and most of all the global eyes sneak peek into the society through the looking glass of metropolitan cities. Over and above that, some claim that the suburbs due to widespread greenery have the highest level of ecological balance and the most distilled surrounding (noise free and pollution free environment), besides this some youths staying in the suburbs and small towns possess highest level of intellect and potential, with the advent of their knowledge they can make revolutionizing and significant contribution for the entire mankind. However, isn’t that precisely that these youths eventually move to the developed cities in order to gain highest level of education and exposure and ends up building their empire in the large cities itself.
