    I know when I had wandered off after getting into a huge argument with my mother about one of her boyfriends who didn't really treat me very nice, I had saw some one working on a farm a few miles away (okay, granted, the farm was eight or so miles away, and no idea where I even was). The farm turned out to have belonged to an Amish family who were really nice to me, and had helped me get back to where I was staying at the time

That their retention rate is high is quite remarkable given their Anabaptist tradition, which, as the video explains, allows them to explore alternatives before committing to the Amish way of life.

    I respect how it’s their religion, but it’s weird how some people (in this comment section) want to live like them just because their use of technology. Technology is the main reason why countries are developed. Technology can give us a low CBR and a low CDR, unlike stage 2 countries with a high CBR and declining CDR. African countries are gaining more knowledge on technology, which is why the death rate is declining. We need technology in order to thrive. Once again, I respect the Amish beliefs, but if you want to live like them, you should take it to the full extent.

      It is harder to find true horse drawn implements these days and most require a power takeoff drive (PTO) so they use gas engines when they have to. They are plain people however and try to stay as true a possible to the old ways. I grew up among the Amish and Mennonites in Iowa and Missouri and have all the admiration in the world for their dedication to faith.

    Inbreeding may be a problem, but more like huge family trees. One area to exist creates boundaries of genetic expansion. Vehicles are a problem and the people controlling them are a larger problem. Societies fascination with Amish or Mennonite is strange. Weird how people stand along the street filming. Did anyone talk with the people being Filmed? Would it make you feel awkward if going home people filmed your family, your children, where you work, petting your transportation? Just saying all of you make no sense.

    They accept machinery but not a tractor. Shame on them for animal cruelty. My father had to plough with horse in Scotland around ww2 and said it was abject cruelty to horses. Very ignorant backward people.

      Some Amish do use tractors.

      They live their lives as if it were the 1700s. Good luck convincing them to change. In fact, they probably will not change. Given their comparatively high fertility and retention rates (despite their Anabaptist tradition), they are among the default inheritors of North America, alongside Evangelical Christians, Catholics, and Mormons. Numbers matter.

    I made the mistake of not previewing this before showing it to my son, and at about 1.5 min in, this video mentions inbreeding. Thanks, Smithsonian, for making me explain inbreeding to my child and now his take away about the Amish people - they are inbreeding. ! Maybe include that in the description for people who may not want to explain that part to their kids yet.

      North Star if you're so dumb you can't explain it in a way that a child can understand maybe you shouldn't have kids in the first place, you dolt.
