Place, date, time:
Which new culture did you learn about? The Amish of Jamesport, MO
Summarize the event in two sentences: I was immersed in the Amish lifestyle for a whole day. I was able to experience what their lives are like on a day to day basis: work, school, chores, meals, prayer, and song.
Answer the following questions:
• What did you learn by attending this cultural experience? I learned about how the Amish live their lives, how they are able to keep the influences of the “English” culture out.
• What was new to you? The way they dress, their native language being Pennsylvania Dutch or high German, the simplicity of their lives.
• Did you enjoy it? Why or why not? Very much! It was very nice to experience their way of life and see that things can be done simply, but nice to come home to technology as well!
• What did it remind you of in your own culture or life experience? Could you contrast your culture and the foreign culture based on something you learned from this event? There was very little that reminded me of my own culture…the way they live their lives is so much different. Much simpler than our hectic technology driven lives. Cultural Event Report
