The Amish: Comparison To Conventional Society

Abstract: 6 pages in length. Simplicity is the affirmation of the Amish, a community of people whose religious beliefs mandate them to forego ownership of modern amenities including electricity, automobiles and telephones. Their choice to eschew the conveniences of contemporary technological advancement speaks to the obvious importance of fulfilling basic needs with the standards of natural application. The uncomplicated lifestyle the Amish lead is often subject to ridicule and contempt from outsiders who contend that the Amish have purposefully separated themselves from the rest of society as a means by which to build a community of their own jurisdiction; however, the extent to which the Amish live and work as members of an unadorned population thriving amidst a larger society of constant problems clearly endorses the benefits of a simple existence. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
