To understand the most important characteristics of a society, one must study its major cities is an argument which brings forward a range of issues to be explained in this writing. A society consists of its people, soil and time. Since the society at present has been segregated by national borders, we have to really focus on internal mechanism of a society.
As I said the society consists of people, soil and time, we cannot by any means ignore any part of it; for example if we just study the major cities, we in a sense taking a bits of pieces from a society as a whole. Now-a-days, major cities have been dramatically changed to follow up the pattern of any developed society, so they lack the originality of that particular society to a great extent. To find the characteristics of a society through the study of the major cities, one has to visit the museum, the old dilapidated buildings remnants and so on. Rather one can get a better view of a society through the study of the sub-urban and rural traits along with major cities to perceive a comprehensive characteristic of a society.
In contrast to the present situation, the past especially before the industrial renaissance could have given someone a full view of a society through studying major cities, for the civilization at that very time particularly built up the major cities incorporating their own cultural and societal norms and values.
For example, if we take any capital from any of the LDC (least developed countries), we will find most of its societal formation is based on western pattern. But if we get into deeper I mean in the remote region of that particular country, we will find how that particular society evolved from those particular geographical, economic, and demographic regions. However, the study of the major cities alone cannot bring forward the holistic characteristic; similarly the study of its sub-urban and remote area cannot produce a complete view either.
So to know the characteristics of a society one has to study major cities along with sub-urban and remote areas as well; that is to say, one cannot ignore any of its people, soil, and time to know the society in particular. If one is removed, the society as whole becomes impaired

A nation should require all of its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college

A nation should require all of its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college.

Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation above and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how those examples shape your position.
Napolean Bonapart says, "Give me an educated mother, I will give you a prosperous nation". Actually, development of any country is proportional to its education system. Hence, to have a developed education system, a national curriculum is prescriptive, but it does not mean that the national curriculum must be monotonous. As stated above in the provided statement that a nation should require ALL of its students to study the SAME national curriculum until they enter college invokes some issues to be resolved.

Firstly, a monotonous curriculum may be easy for government to implement at the detriment of many prospective successes of students. By nature, human being specially children are fond of inquisition, and one of the major aspect of education is provide these inquisitive kids with most realistic tools and kits whether it may may be in the forms of books or so on. Given the proposed issue at hand be implemented will block the students aspirations to know what exist beyond the prescribed boundary. So, it is prescriptive to have a heterogeneous yet homogeneous national curriculum.

Moreover, a nation at present needs diverse expertises from different experts to continue its development which undoubtedly will be hardly possible to receive from indigenous people if the monotonous national curriculum is brought into reality. It will cause the rich people to send their kids to private school to flourish private institution, whereas the poor people will start hue and cry to bring anarchy in the society as a whole. This sort of dilemma can easily be eradicated if a heterogeneous yet homogeneous curriculum is introduced, which will definitely lower the gap of discrimination and broaden the opportunities for the young learners to explore.

For instance, Taliban regime forced every student to go through unified madrasha education system, which became a bane for Taliban at the end of the day. Because, students did not like the unified systems and many of them dropped out due to frustation. So, frustation in young minds causes psychological trauma which has very lasting effect on generation. As a result, we saw Taliban could not raise a nation independently due to their bigotry.

There are many examples can be brought out, but it is in vain to discuss them here elaborately. In a words, diversity in education helps young minds to be creative, and creativity which is badly in need on which depends a nation's prospective future and leadership. As we can see from the life of Albert Einstein, who was eagerly thinking of the indicators of campus aligning to north pole. Astonishigly, he was assigned as a professor from the very school he was rejected. Here comes the issues of teachers and instructors who nurture the future generation. When an unified curriculum is implemented, every instructor and teacher becomes so much obsessed with the particular subject that they cannot simply ear to any extraordinary question.

So, I am deadly against the proposed same national curriculum for every student, because it tarnishes the creativity and inquisition from the young minds; at the same time it makes the instructors or teachers blindly prone to that particular curriculum. So, to nurture creativity and inquisition along with to diminish the discrimination among social strata, nation must have heterogeneous national curriculum.
