A short history of the high rise
Some people may look up at high rises and simply see looming structures of brick and concrete and glass. But a closer investigation of where why and how these buildings were constructed and who lives in them reveals so much more. For centuries societies have used the high rise either to house the poor or to protect the richmond and sometimes reduce the gap between the two. Through the lens of the high rise we can see how communities and governments around the world view and deal with inequality and human rights.

They encourage readers to think beyond the surface level and see the connections between personal choices and larger social concerns.
C. Both sections also try to persuade readers of the importance of certain issues.
