The purpose of this discussion post is to talk about the Amish that live in my community I will talk about the Amish perception of communication, space ,social organization, time and environment control and if there are any biological variations to that the Amish.

So far, all of this has been through the perspective of the Amish. Through their perspective, it’s easy to see why they want to remain outsiders to US society. However, what is the perspective of the US? What is it about it (and the outside world in general) that the Amish want to avoid? As stated earlier, US society is very different from the Amish. They have the latest technology. They have totally different values (whether it be good or bad). The society itself can be either be helpful or it

The Amish feel that they have to resist change in order to separate themselves from the world.

The Amish live in a world inside of a world. They are normally called old fashioned because they don't believe in the use of technology and they have very old values that most people don't follow anymore.

Most Amish say that being Amish is not a religion it's a lifestyle. They live separately from society

The Amish Hi everyone! Today I am going to talk about the Amish People, but before I do that I would like to begin by explaining what it means to be Amish Firstly I would like all of you to use your imagination and think back in time when our society weren’t really developed.

The Old Order Amish Church forbids rejects most outside forces as they don’t fit with their ideals.

Everything is old fashioned from riding around town in a horse and buggie, all the way to using lanterns for sources of light, The film Devil’s Playground documents the teens as they have a chance to leave this unique way of life to experience the lives of the average American teenager called rumspringa.
