Amish life in the modern world

Amish people are a group of folks who live in the United States and Canada. They have their own way of life that is different from most modern people. They dress in old-fashioned clothes, use horse-drawn buggies for transportation, and don't usually have electricity or modern technology. They have a very strong religious belief and live by the Bible's teachings.

When Amish people interact with the modern world, they try to keep their traditional ways while still being respectful of the outside world. For example, they might use a communal phone instead of having one in each house, or they might use a diesel generator to power important equipment. They also have some Amish businesses that allow them to sell their goods (such as furniture, quilts, and baked goods) to outsiders.

Some Amish people do go to modern schools, but others go to Amish-run schools that teach only the basics. They learn how to read, write, and do math, but they don't learn much about science or technology. They also learn skills that are important for their way of life, like farming, baking, and carpentry.

Overall, Amish people want to live a simple life that is focused on their religious beliefs and their community. They believe that modern technology and material possessions can distract from this way of life, so they try to limit their use of them. However, they also understand that they need to interact with the outside world in some ways to survive and thrive.
