Not Amish
Don’t say anyone with a bonnet is Amish. Among them are the Mennonites. Despite their similarity, the Amish and Mennonites are not the same people. If you combine the two, they would be offended severely. Mennonites, including the Amish, are a non-Orthodox Christian religion. They are not segregated and work in more modern communities. All of them are technologically savvy and operate cars. On occasion, a Mennonite’s attire may be mistaken for that of a non-Mennonite.

Meidung
Given their numerous limits on their practices and lifestyles, the Amish are remarkably permissive and allow people to draw their conclusions. Those that break the laws, on the other hand, are subject to a framework. It’s the Amish equivalent of a “time-out.” There will be repercussions if anyone is found to be violating their ethical policy. One of them is meidung, which implies that the tribe has shunned the member.
