As shown by this project, the Amish people are deeply devoted people to their families and most importantly, God. Their simple lifestyle is one of curiosity by the outside world. This simpleness is a part of their way of living the life God wants them to lead. A life that emphasizes love and helping others, not physical appearances or worldly goods.
The materials selected for this project were a mixture of books and websites. Most of the history behind the Amish came from encyclopedias. The information on Amish children was found in books explaining all aspects of Amish life. Clothing and religious information was gleaned mostly from different internet sources that zoned in on these topics specifically.
We learned from this project that the Amish society is one of uniqueness. The Amish practices, dating back many years, has stood the many changes of society. That in itself is very admirable. The Amish devotion to teaching children and caring for their families is something all people should learn about and try to practice within their lives. Most importantly, we learned that though the Amish are different than most of society, they are people that laugh, love, and learn just like all people.
