Just A Quick Note...

Depending on how you look at it, Paterson can be a pretty impressive place. There seems to be an exceedingly excessive amount of culture. Paterson sticks out and could top a list for a city or town with a lot of character. A problem that affects people all over the country is the lack of connection people have with one another socially. This is called anomie. Anomie is the act of having weak social ties. In other communities, like Chicago the elderly are dying because they shut out the new changes in the world. in Paterson, people seem to embrace the changes and people seem to depend on each other for different things. For example, my first and second visits to paterson I saw older women gossiping and speaking to their neighbors cheerfully. Paterson possesses something that I think ALL small towns should have, and bigger towns and cities should try and hold important.
