SMALL TOWN
EL término small town (ciudad pequeña) se usa en Estados Unidos para referirse a las localidades de menos de 10.000 habitantes. La palabra village (pueblo) no se suele usar por tener connotaciones del Viejo Continente o del Tercer Mundo. Los valores de estas ciudades pequeñas, que se ven como algo positivo, representan sobre todo la amabilidad, la honradez, la ayuda entre vecinos y el patriotismo, aunque a veces la expresión se usa en un sentido negativo, como por ejemplo cuando se habla de small-town attitudes (actitudes provincianas), haciendo referencia a las mentes estrechas o con prejuicios.
