Why don't the attractive and repulsive forces cancel outwhen a negatively charged rod is brought close to some small pieces of neutral paper. The positive sides of molecules in the paper are attracted?

The The molecules in the paper will orient themselves so that the positively charged sides point towards the rod and the negatively charged sides point away. Since the electrical forces decreases with increasing distance the nearer positive charges experience a stronger force than the more distant negative charges. As a result, the net force will be one of attraction.
