解析
觀點(diǎn)：
大城市能夠體現(xiàn)一個(gè)社會(huì)的主要特點(diǎn)，盡管我不否認(rèn)中小城鎮(zhèn)也能體現(xiàn)特點(diǎn)。
理由：
1、 大城市通常是社會(huì)、國(guó)家的政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化中心，所以大城市能夠體現(xiàn)一個(gè)社會(huì)的主要特點(diǎn);
(1) 經(jīng)濟(jì)領(lǐng)域：NewYork， Thebusiness of American is to do business.
(2) 文化領(lǐng)域：racialdiversification
(3) 文化領(lǐng)域：history
其他例子：Kyoto
2、 大城市也有問(wèn)題。城市化的進(jìn)程使得大城市千篇一律，并不能真實(shí)反映社會(huì)的特點(diǎn)。
以及城市化的過(guò)程也存在對(duì)于原有文化的破壞的情況。
Examples：MexicoCity
3、 社會(huì)特點(diǎn)在中小城鎮(zhèn)、鄉(xiāng)村地區(qū)也有體現(xiàn)
Examples：Thanks giving
Traditionalculture
結(jié)論：
所以大城市能夠體現(xiàn)一個(gè)社會(huì)的主要特點(diǎn)。
