The Amish are living as they
lived three hundred years in the past.
Their main trait is the withdrawal of
technology in their lives.
They are farmers who are still working
their lands with horse drawn plows
and milking their cows by hand. They
wear special clothes, you can see men
wearing the traditional black suits, white
shirts and black hats, and girls and single
women wearing long, dark blue or purple
dresses and white caps.
Their simple wooden houses have no
electricity, water comes from a well in the
yard, and their transportation is by horse
drawn wagons. They don't use modern
technology because they believe it can
destroy the most important thing for

they are not using telephones, cars, or
television. Some Amish traditions are:
