CH. 1.1 QUESTION
VARIOUS CULTURES AND SOCIETIES EMPHASIZE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP. THE AMISH DO NOT USE AUTOMIBILES, ELECTRICITY, TELEPHONES, INDOOR PLUMBING, MODERN TECHNOLOGY, OR ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE NON-AMISH WORLD. ALL ASPECTS OF THE AMISH CULTURE REVOLVE AROUND THE HOME AND FAMILY LIFE. AMISH FAMILIES ARE SELF-SUFFICIENT. THEY PRODUCE THEIR OWN FOOD, CLOTHING, SOAP, QUILTS, AND FURNITURE.
WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO LIVE IN THIS CULTURE? WHAT WOULD BE THE HARDEST SACRIFICE FOR YOU TO GIVE UP TO LIVE THIS WAY?

I think could be able to live like the Amish. Although I know it wont be easy since am so use to computer-made stuff and technology. Other than that, like the simple things like tv, computers, cell phones I could not go without this items. Basically it more of a life of using your "raw materials " or mind to do things.
