Welcome to Mr. Turk's 11th grade Civics blog page. I set this site up for our class so that we can communicate with each other. I may post homework assignments or ask questions for you to comment on right here, online. Parents can also log on to check what we are discussing in class and join in. Hopefully, this will enable us to dwell deeper into our studies and become closer as classmates.

CH. 1.1 QUESTION

VARIOUS CULTURES AND SOCIETIES EMPHASIZE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP.
THE AMISH DO NOT USE AUTOMOBILES, 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 THE AMISH CULTURE? WHAT WOULD BE THE HARDEST SACRIFICE FOR YOU TO GIVE UP TO LIVE THIS WAY?

no. not to say that it's bad, but technology has become part of everyday life. the hardest thing to give up would be the vast knowledge that could be obtained from using the internet.

No I wouldnt, because they werk too hard, and get up too early. The hardest sacrifice would be electricy, because without electricity there would be no cable, and without cable, there would be no Martin.
