In the view of sociologist the term society
means humane, architectonic, aesthetic and communicational aspects of people
living together in the same region in its era, and society could persists from
generation to generation based on its custom rules, regulation and sameness of
expectation.
According to Maccaus Tulett a famous sociologist in its first book “Human civilization and society” stated that studying society to uncover its sense in its era is a long journey. For instance major cities are the society’s gateway for outside world. New traditions, fashion, styles first establish in big cities and then infiltrated into other areas. For example – Colombo is the economic hub of SriLanka. Many business, industries, offices, government institutions are located here. Most people living here are not land owners but tenants. They spend a whole different lifestyle which is a combination of western and eastern style. While their neighbors living 100 km away from them live a simple and traditional lifestyle. So if one comes to a conclusion that studying major cities will lead to a deviation of truth.
Major cities could not draw any quintessence of nearby region. According to Laccura, a professional sociologist states that during the process of selective absorbing social aspects outside the cities such as architecture or art. The urban cities might ignore such certain typical characteristics and remaining only what is considered as sophisticated and satisfied to the taste of people in noble or higher society. The study of society should start from Mirco elements: the family, how family fit together, their interactions with each other. But in big cities interactions are vague between parents and children. In a city religious activities are more economized. Best example would be the way in which Christmas is celebrated in big cities and in rural church.
In conclusion, it is clear that studying major cities only doesn’t help us to find important characteristics. These days’ cities are a mixture of people with different language, caste and thoughts and each of them belonging to a specific society. Ultimately there are better ways rather than major cities that help sociologists to discover the most important characteristics of the society.
