The Amish certainly stands out among other communities in America mainly due to their highly traditional lifestyles. In the world of modern luxuries and technology (which we are enjoying today), the Amish remain as one of the very few people that are not only oblivious to it but outright reject it.
Instead, the Amish continue to live a centuries-old rural and straightforward lifestyle. The Amish focused on more important aspects of their culture such as a strong work ethic, sense of spiritualism, and a close-knit community.
Such a lifestyle has gained appeal among people outside the Amish community; this is not surprising since such a lifestyle has a rustic charm. With the modern world comes modern stresses and many people have started to see the Amish as a way to reconnect with a way of life long forgotten. To do so, some have even gone to not just learn but also try and join the Amish.
