Pop culture: Breaking Amish
One of the best new shows on tv is breaking Amish. If you haven't seen it. It's on OnDemand get to it. It's about 5 Amish young adults well except one who is 32. But the reality show is basically about these 5 people leaving the Amish community for all different reasons. Abe who is 21 wants to leave because he is tired of his life being controlled by a bunch of people. He is ready to make his own decisions. And another is Kate who was the reverend daughter in her community. She wanted to leave cuz she always wanted to be a model and decided to finally try and pursue the career. All 5 people being a part of the reality show will live together in New York in a hotel in manhattan. Most of the young adults were kicked out of their Amish communities before they could even tell their parents their decision to leave. Because the Amish have such strict rules about how you live your life according to God. Most were kicked out when the parents found out they were being filmed. That is one of the many rules. I love the show cuz it's like seeing aliens these people don't know what anything is cuz they have always been cut off from the world. Some didn't know what texting was and a few didn't know the difference between Chinese food and mexican food. It's such a good show that shows that even in America we have very different cultures. Very interesting :)
