Case Study: Simply Amish Of Castleton

The Lancaster County Amish are a group of people living in Pennsylvania who have the same faith and beliefs of a simplistic lifestyle. The Lancaster Amish are private people who believe that God wants them to live a simple and faithful life. They live a very modest lifestyle because they believe that God has a personal interest in their lives, which allows them to stick together despite what is going on in the outside world. Instead of believing in rituals and religious symbols, the Amish applies religion to their every day life. Church is very important to them, as it is an act of worship and a renewal of faith of the community. They also hold a baptism ceremony, which allows young teens/ adults to decide if they want to stay in the Amish

Nearly all furniture for the birthing center, such as: bed frames, bassinets, tables, cabinets, etc. is made from Amish craftsmen from within the community (Showalter, 2000).

It’s very easy to find the differences between Amish and American societies and even though it may not seem like it at first glance there are some similarities between the two. Such as religion, yes America has a diverse set of religion, but both societies believe the right to religious freedom. That is why Amish societies are located in America because they are allowed to express their religion. Another similarity in both societies is education. Even though Amish children mostly only go to an eighth grade education, both societies prepare the children for adulthood and teach them skills that will help them in society.

The chair, a Windsor style fan-backed chair, has bamboo turned legs, a particularly popular style during the post Revolutionary War period. Chairs were usually made by local furniture makers. One such local furniture maker during James Gettys' time was Gettysburg, resident Edward Davis. In July of 1804, Davis placed an ad in the Centinel where he advertised the sale of his locally made Windsor and split-bottom chairs. As James Gettys was known for having his furniture made locally, perhaps Davis or one of his contemporaries made the chair housed at the Adams County Historical Society,

East Hampshire Homes was a for-profit institution for a mentally retarded individual established by Jay and his wife, Leigh, a registered nurse. Leigh was the head of the mental homes and thus, was in charge of overseeing regulatory requirements as stipulated by the local, state and federal health welfare regulations. Leigh only identified Hepatitis B and blood-borne as the likely factors that East Hampshire Homes and nearby society may be exposed to, although the rate of exposure according to her was not at a risk state. Federal Occupation regulations mandated Leigh to develop a compliance policy that could safeguard the employees. On the other hand, OSHA authorized Leigh a discretion of developing a framework for classifying the tasks that

In the Northeast portion of the United States there are many different cultures, some extravagantly different than others. Many of these are not fully understood by the average man such as the Amish and Mennonites. Within the 50+ miles between Harford County, Maryland and Lancaster County, Pennsylvania there are many differences but also many similarities. Family Time, transportation and lifestyle are a few examples. With many differences, both of these cultures are worthy of appreciation, respect and education of the ways of life all of which are about to be explored.

This name was given to the Amish that branched off from the Old Order in the 1960s. The New Order Amish settlements are found exclusively in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Although they are very similar to the Old Order, they use new farming technologies like the tractor and include the use of telephones and electricity in their homes. The New Order Amish perform missions work abroad, prohibit the use of alcohol and tobacco, occasionally travel by airplane, have more elaborate buggies, hold formal Bible meetings, and a lower percentage of the New Order church youth join the church ("Amish America," 2010). On a humorous note, the New Order Amish lean toward a clean courtship between the youth breaking away from the Old Order tradition of bundling where a courting couple lay down together fully clothed

The Amish are a small group of people that live in a secluded area of the eastern United States of America. The cultural group known as the Amish has constituted themselves as a unique entity in America's diverse landscape. Amish life is centered on religion, agriculture, and the family. For most people who live outside of the Amish culture, this group seems out of touch with the present time; a culture of another era. This belief is primarily attributable to the Amish belief in simplicity and their rejection of modern technologies (The Amish 2011). One of the most important aspects of Amish life and livelihood is agriculture; the Amish focus much of their life on the growth and harvest of food and other crops. The various factors that affect the culture are based upon agriculture; including the Amish beliefs and values, economic organization, gender relations, kinship, political organization, sickness, social change, and social organization.

The Amish live a different life style than we do. A lot of people misunderstand the way they live their life in rural communities. They think that the Amish live an old fashioned life and fear the real world. All they want to do is help their community every way they can. Each fellowship is broken down into districts where they live independently by rules their community agrees on. The rules consist of clothing requirements, color of buggies, household items, etc. There are around 200,000 members of the Amish in which come from more than 20 states. In fact, the Amish community has been growing. Every 20 years the population doubles.

In line with the Scandinavian idea of minimalism, IKEA seeks to eliminate the unnecessary in its prouducts but it makes a point out of not compromising on function or technical quality.
