What do these archetypes say about the cultures from which they come from?

Your question is incomplete as you did not provide the options to answer it. But anyway I will give you an explanation so that you can understand this topic and can answer it for yourself.

Explanation:

An archetype represents that which is exemplary, that which shows the ideal or what it should be, that is, a model, from which other ideas, concepts, objects or copies emerge. It can be something tangible or intangible (symbolic), but it always has the ability to generate other things from itself.

That is why we conclude that what an archetype can say about the culture from which it comes are behaviors and even ways of thinking, since the environment seeks imitation or similarity to what is shown as ideal.

compare & contrast informative essay/speech

when speaking or writing for the sole purpose of providing information in order to give audience members a good basis for making a decision, you would present an informative speech or essay.   because you wouldn’t want to be persuading the audience by arguing for one type of exercise over the other, you wouldn’t choose a persuasive/argumentative technique.   to fairly, and without bias, present information about the pros and cons of each type exercise, a compare/contrast, informative speech/essay would be the best bet.
