Amish folket: en anderledes livsstil

I am going to write about the Amish people, and their rights to be different, from the modern and proud Englishmen. The Amish people are very different from the modern English families, because they don’t use electricity and they only wear old-fashioned clothes. The Amish have their own little society, but the kids get to choose if they want to be Amish. They have something called rumspringa, which is a time period, where the Amish kids get to be normal English kids for a time. It’s different for how long rumspringa is. It could be a month or a year. The meaning with rumspringa is for the kids to choose between the Amish lifestyle and the modern English lifestyle.

If they choose the modern English lifestyle, they are not allowed to see their Amish family again. If they choose the Amish lifestyle, they will live forever as one of the Amish people. The Amish people are not allowed to use electricity, because of their religion. They want to be simple and they don’t want to seem proud. They have to use other things, to replace all the electricity things they can’t use. For example they use books instead of the Internet, letters instead of mobiles, candles instead of lambs, and buggies instead of cars.
