"...Their example invites reflection on a modern dilemma;how to balance the rights on the individual with the needs of the community." (WM 387)
The amish focus in on the community first, individual second. In modern America, and most of the world, the importance is first and foremost the individual. What makes you happy, content, pleasant, angry, sad, and hopefully are all extremely important. The amish adhere to complete conformity, while Americans prefer choices. What the importance is which group remains happier?
