Amish world
Amish life is fascinating to outsiders. They keep to themselves and don’t associate with the rest of people. The practice of humility is the main motivation for almost everything the Amish do. They believe outside culture has a morally polluting effect. They think it promotes pride, greed, immorality and materialism. Amish beliefs include the concept that God will judge them on how well they obeyed the church rules during their lifetime, and contact with the outside world makes it harder to obey their rules.
The Amish dress in old-fashioned clothes and dark colors. Again, humility is the reason behind this. Amish value conformity, not individualism. They believe bright colors or patterns attract attention to a person. Some of their clothes are fastened with straight pins or hooks, to avoid buttons, which might be a source of pride. Their rule for living specifies everything from what type of shoes may be worn to the width of hat brims. Women wear a white prayer covering on their head if they are married, black if they are single. Married men wear beards, single men do not. Mustaches are prohibited because they are associated with the 19th century European military. The Amish are nonviolent and are conscientious objectors.
They don’t use electricity or cars and tractors. In their life, isolation from the rest of society is viewed as a way to keep themselves from unnecessary temptation. The Amish do not hook up to the electrical grid, which prevents the use of televisions, radios, computers, and modern appliances. No TVs means no advertising and no immoral messages. The Amish also believe in hard work and usefulness. They would consider watching TV or surfing the Internet a waste of time. Cars and mechanized farm machinery could lead to competition or pride of ownership. Old Order Amish do not allow a telephone in their homes, because it could lead to pride and gossip. The community may put a phone in a barn or outside phone booth, to deliberately make it inconvenient to use.
Amish schools end at eighth grade. They believe that education leads to worldliness. They educate their children to eighth grade in their own schools. A dialect of German is spoken in the home, so children learn English in school, as well as other basic skills they need to live in the Amish community.
The Amish don’t want to be photographed because they believe photos can lead to pride and invade their privacy.
They practise shunning which is avoiding someone who has broken the rules. The Amish do it not as a matter of punishment, but to bring the person to repentance and back into the community.
The Amish let their teenagers go into the outside world, they call it Rumspringa, which is Pennsylvania German for “running around”. In general, youth at 16 are allowed freedom to go to Amish community sings and other events. Boys may be given a buggy for dating. Some of these teenagers are baptized members of the church while others are not. The purpose of Rumspringa is to find a spouse, not taste the outside world. In nearly all cases, it strengthens the Amish youths’ desire to obey the rules and become a cooperative member of their community. The Amish cannot marry outside their community. If they do, they are excommunicated from Amish life and shunned. The strictness of shunning varies by congregation. In some cases it involves not eating, doing business with, riding in a car with, or accepting gifts from shunned members.
