Amish Culture compared to American Culture The Amish culture is very different from the American culture. In the Amish country, they base their society on religion. The men teach the boys how to farm, build furniture, and make their own wagons. The women teach their daughters how to do cook, clean, and other house hold chores. Schooling isn't that important to the Amish because they aren't going to go to college.
Another reason why it is possible that the caseworkers were not fully aware is because they asked the parents to explain the situation. They had no other way to verify what was going on in the home because the children did not have medical examinations, were home schooled, neighbors rarely ever saw the children outside of the home and the family regularly attended a local church. I most definitely believe that all nine members of the Division of Youth and Family Services should have been fired and charges should have been brought against them. They neglected to do their job properly and make sure that the boys were being properly taken care of, instead one of the social workers prayed with the family for
Students were required to pursue a set method within the process of solving factors in the classroom. Students are not graded by the answer they provide but by the process of how they obtained the answer. In working class schools, the teachers fight for dominance in the school’s setting. When the principals were asked about the history of the schools they lacked knowledge and were unable to provide this information. The teacher’s set low standards for students.
My experience was significantly different from Rodriguez’s. His life at home and at school is even almost exactly opposite of my own. My family played a key part in my life whereas his was almost nonexistent. I believe he took the wrong path. He completely ignored his family to just work obsessively in school, but took absolutely nothing away from it because he was only working to be recognized, not to learn.
The Amish’s ultimate goal is to get to heaven and they strive for it through a very disciplined, religious, and community oriented life. The Amish are also very private. They generally do not allow photographs or videos except for the making of this documentary. They isolate themselves from influences, for example, children do not attend public schools and most men are employed within the Amish community. They try to separate themselves from the rest of the world by wearing plain clothing and not using modern technology.
That shows that he cares for his people, that he wants others to know what it was like, so that something similar never happens to their children. Reading this made me sad because in that time white people and Natives could not coexist in society. Many people today still believe that they are supposed to be the lesser beings. That is why all of us if given the chance should give back to our children to prevent our society from becoming dull and useless. Alexie mentions talking to himself in “third person” (15).
Federal intervention has failed to improve scores in part because the top-down rules that come with aid have squelched local innovation.” This statement is utterly false. For one I don’t think that schools get nearly enough if you look at Fermi High School for instance we have nothing that is up to date including text books computers and on top of it all teachers don’t get paid nearly enough as they should what teachers do each and every day is a passion for teaching not making money. Another reason why I do not like this article is because he uses the test scores as a point to make. In reality test scores are not a way that you can describe someone there are plenty of smart people that just may do badly on tests. The people that would hate a rule change like this one would be teachers and students because many of these politicians don’t see what really is going on is public schools.
Besides farm work, every person had another specialized trade. They apprenticed and learned another skill, such as carpentry or weaving, of their choice. In contrast the Machiavellian society did not allow citizens to choose. The state was very strict but well-organized in their laws, in order to maintain order and prevent mutiny. Citizens did not get to choose their skill, but rather they chose what met the needs of the state as a whole.
The choir put a spin on the way I ever looked at lyrics but the melody that they created was both high and low, they just stayed in harmony even when they weren't all singing at one and it was guys vs girls. As for the band I would say that the range that they covered as well correlated just right with the choir as they had
They always had to have certain jobs. One that is hard labor, the ones that you don’t need much skills in. For example, garment factories, steel mills, or construction they all were low pay and unskilled. Long hours of work for barely anything. Nativist did not want any immigrants to come to America, they said it was because the immigrants were taking all the jobs and that they would never learn their customs and language.
