compare between amish people and other people
Amish Country Last Thursday, the ELI took all the students to Amish country. We all went by bus. We went to an Amish house where we met Mike. Mike made a presentation about Amish life. He showed their clothes. He told us that the Amish came from Germany. He told us that the Amish want to be separate from society. They don't have electricity, so they use lanterns, also they don't have cars they use buggies. I learned many things from the presentation. Firstly, the Amish are peaceful people. They don't involve themselves selves in wars and fights, secondly, their religion is Christianity. They take the rules of the Bible literally. For example, in the Bible it says men don't shave their beards so they don't shave their beards. Thirdly, the Amish can date, but their way of dating has to be disciplinal. For example, when they date, they don't touch each other until they get married. Fourthly, Amish's lifestyle is about farming and doing chores. They work all week except on Sunday. Fifthly, Amish like to have a large family. When they get married, they keep having children until they pass away. Lastly, they don't have churches. Their idea about church is to worship God in someone's house. Every Sunday, Amish gather in someone's house and they sing songs and eat supper and also worship God. After Mike finished his presentation. We went to an elderly woman's house. She had a store where she sells bakeries and cheese. As soon as I got out of the bus a dog was running toward me so I ran scarily. While I was running I felled down and I hurt my neck. The elderly woman yelled to the dog and he left me. After that, we went to an Amish's family. They made dinner for us. They were very nice people. The food was delicious but unfortunately I didn't enjoy it, because I was in so much pain and I wasn't in the mood. After we had dinner, we all thanked the family and appreciated them. Before we got in the bus we took so many pictures of each other. By the way Amish don't

    Spanish priests began to set up missions along the western coasts to encourage the Native Americans to adopt Christianity. English settlers, on the other hand, had planned from the very start of their expedition to stay in the New world. As England was facing overpopulation, famine, and a lack of jobs, many English immigrated to America with no other option. Southern states became rich in the cash crop business. Cotton, sugar, and tobacco grew easily in the southern states making any landowner an almost instant success. The northern states were not as lucky with the weather as such profitable crops were not as easily grown there but they were able to farm just for themselves, but found much needed work as traders, wage workers, and fishers.…

    1.

Although some lesser known tribes of Native Americans were indeed nomadic, such as the Aztecs, by the time the Europeans had settled nomadic tribes were scarce.…

    They are confined to a community of others like them, those of the same religious group. The fact that Nomi does not feel this as she gets older might be indicative of her own thoughts, or further, Toews’s thoughts, of the isolating restrictions in her own Mennonite town. Shielding the citizens of the community from the outside world and the media is indicative of its desire to stay as it is and has always been. Evolving seems out of the questions. Therefore, when Nomi starts rebelling against the church, she is viewed as a threat. The outside threatens the walls East Village has built around itself. The existence of the model village reveals the outdated beliefs of this town. It also reveals a fear of the world outside the walls of East Village. The restricted way of life and strict cultural rules are a defense mechanism; a way to hold on to traditions and beliefs. When Tash makes the remark that Mennonites are a “national joke,” it reveals a mindset in Mennonites, one that revolves around closing themselves off and operating under their own rules. “Tash’s remark ironically relates her own uncertainties about communal allegiance to wider anxieties about national and regional status” (Omhovère, 70). The self-segregation the Mennonites use seems to be a way to not only keep cultural practices and traditions alive, but to keep the…

    “This gun of the hand is for the taking of human life. We believe it is wrong to take a life. That is only for God.” The conflicting notions and difference between cultures is thoroughly represented throughout Peter Weir’s stunning and thematically moving film ‘Witness’ in which two different worlds with two different value systems are profoundly presented to its viewers. Having a sense of belonging is essential to identity; it is a basic human instinct to belong and to have faith in certain beliefs, the preoccupations meaningfully explored within Weir’s creations. Moreover, through the use of film techniques and representation, Weir has managed to captivate and compel his audience to indulge into the hardships and strategic traditions in which the Amish community follow and also allows the audience to gain a further understanding…
