To the Editor,
The article, “Moser: Our Neighborhood Stuck Together in Good and Bad Times” was a great example contradicting the current belief that most people don’t know their neighbors any longer. It is refreshing to know there are still communities out there that look out for each other and participate in solidarity.
In society nowadays, there is a common belief that more people are going out and doing things. But we tend to them alone, we are more independent in our lives, which is a good thing — but it can also be a bad thing. Studies have shown that in our lives we need a good support system to cope with the stresses of life.
We need to learn that interdependence within the context of needing our neighbors and friends as a support system is an important aspect in our lives and we need to cherish the moments when this comes to light and happens within communities.
This community seems as though they have it all figured out. They are able to know each other personally and have a connection to one another. I believe that there should be more coverage of this issue so we can bring this back into society as a normal occurrence.
