Descriptive essay

how does the way a commercial mall is designed affect the identity of visitors?are certain aspects encouraged or discouraged, and how is this achieved?

so that is the topic we were given in class.
we are asked to write a 1000 word essay.

the problem is that i cant seem to find nice unique ideas.
i was thinking of writing the essay in 3 points of views, one from a teenagers experience in a mall and another from a middle aged woman, and a third from an old persons point of view...

but i cant figure out how to pull it all together and how to start the essay..

Please help
Thanks
