Slums in New York City

After discussing slums in New York City, I decided to research about early New York City, specifically the story of Seneca Village in the 1800's. We learned about Gemeinschaft and it has to do with community, mechanical solidarity and status whereas, Geseillschaft, is more of a contract, organic solidarity, and class. With organic solidarity we are bound to one another. This was an interesting topic to talk about and also it was very relevant to what I read about in the Seneca Village article.
