An Ethnographic Study of Social Change in Amish Society :: Religion Culture Heritage Papers

An Ethnographic Study of Social Change in Amish Society On March 23, 1998, I did a meeting and field perception to affirm a past speculation on Amish social change and endurance. I estimated, in view of library examination and individual experience, that Amish society was not static but rather unique and influenced by numerous components, for example, financial matters and social endurance. So as to check the legitimacy of my speculation I masterminded to spend a full Sunday (March 23, 1998), with an Amish family. I went to community gatherings at the Westhaven Amish-Mennonite Church in New Holland, Pennsylvania, and a short time later went through the day watching and talking with an Amish dairy rancher named Aaron and his better half Anna. They have six kids and live on a dairy ranch in Lancaster County Pennsylvania, which is a huge cultivating network. I met Aaron and his family around four years prior while in Lancaster County with my family and from that point forward our families have stayed in close contact. In this manner, to do a n ethnography on the Amish, my essential source was Aaron, somebody I was at that point open to talking with. What I found during the time spent my perception and meeting was that my speculation on social change and endurance was enormously affected by my own common and logical world view. I had additionally underplayed the significance of certain key thoughts which help to clarify Amish social belief systems, Amish endurance, Amish social change, and elements. I found that religion, more than I had accepted, assumed a critical job in Amish endurance in America. The Amish family, I additionally discovered, added to the pace of Social Change. Flourishing, amazingly, had a more noteworthy influence in social change than I had recently suspected. Also, I had the option to set up the exactness of other exploration data on Amish society that I had gathered and watched. Understanding that tremendous social cleavages exist between Amish society and my own, I am not astonished, by and large, to discover interchanges, as is presumably normal in most anthropological examinations, was the most troublesome part of my meeting. The instructive hindrance that existed among myself and Aaron during the meeting was one of the inconveniences that I encountered. What I had not thought about before doing my meeting with Aaron, was that he would not be acquainted with Sociological, Anthropological, and Economic ideas, terms, and hypotheses which I had learned through my advanced degree.
