Being Different: Amish, Windrush, and Coming Out

Being different: the Amish, the Windrush Generation, and coming out

The Amish

The Amish people live in the small villages they had built, and in the village are following the rules and religion, at age of 16 all the Amish teenagers have no rules and can explore the town or take driving lessons, but the parent expects the teenager to went back to the church after the year called rumspringa year. a lot of the Amish teenagers do not want to go back to church and then they take to parties and forget all about their families. The families don’t want to have any contact with the teenagers that don’t come back and follow their religion, because they are disappointed, some of the Amish teenagers don’t understand why and how they had lived in such a boring village when they have the whole world to explore, they also change their mindset when they come back after a whole year enjoying the town and freedom. In the Amish religion, it all is about being with your family and being in a small community and they do not have any connection with the world around them.

The Windrush

The Windrush generation is a people who came from Jamaica and the Caribbean, they were transported from their country by a ship called Windrush over to Britain. They were invited by Britain because Britain needed cheap workers, so they used their old connections. The new British people fought that it was going to be best for them because in their own country they already spoke and had traditions like Britain because it was colonies before. Britain looked down on the Black people that came after they invited them, also the black Britain people didn't have it that good that they fought they will. Begins with them getting taken their passports and Their families getting split up. The president that fought it was going to be a good plan got changed and it went down for the Windrush generation.
