The Amish are a group of people living in different places in the US. In general, they don’t use electricity and many of them ride around on horse and buggies instead of cars. I think the Amish community is a great example of a group of people that break stereotypes that many people abroad have of the United States. In this episode, I talk about the Amish and some media portrayals of their community.
