Abstract
We discuss about the characteristic features of the Amish community in this document. The Amish are a religious and close-knit community which lives in the USA, a country that is riding high in terms of technology. The most astonishing aspect about them is that they choose to live on the fringes of the American society. America can be a devout country, but it is home to a peculiar community. There are about a two hundred thousand Amish people living in the United States, especially in states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Ontario in Canada. They are generally rural farmers who live in a bygone area. They are faced with an extraordinary clash of the ancient and modern principles. But the core of the problem lies in the fact that they are supposed to be a community that would never set foot in automobiles and would never accept changes in their lifestyle. It is indeed surprising that there is a community which is rejecting technological advances and hopes for prosperity in the modern world. There is something more to the retro image of horse-drawn buggies and straw hats, which we will analyze in this document.
